Hugh Manson says:

I started out as a guitar luthier near Crediton and after getting too many customers at the workshop decided to open a shop in partnership with Adrian Ashton. Started the retail store 20 years ago and haven’t looked back since!

Hugh Manson regularly tours the world with John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin as his head technician and tech’d for him at the Led Zeppelin reunion concert at the O2 in 2007.
