Gary started by making traditional guitars, but it was when he became aware of guitar maker Greg Smallman’s work that he was inspired to experiment with the construction of the guitar. In 2004 he took a radical move and changed the internal design of his guitars. It took a further two years to develop these ideas fully, but what emerged was a cross-over grid system combined with a floating frame. I now regard Gary Hearn as one of the foremost luthiers in Britain. I was struck by the amazing resonance of his instruments, which has one of the longest sustains I have ever heard.
