Our Team

TOM’S RIGHT-HAND MAN

Making a splash in the workshop straight from school, he’s developed his talent in woodworking under Tom’s watchful eye for two years and counting.

Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, Ted continues his family line of lutherie. A selection of his grandfather’s tools inhabit the workshop as an ode to that lineage.

Ted’s endless passion and curiosity has challenged some of our long standing workshop processes, which continue to improve many of our practices.

GUITARIST

Multi-award winning acoustic guitarist, Will McNicol, has been working with Tom Sands Guitars from the very beginning.

Will’s played and recorded almost every TSG ever made, giving him an intimate understanding of the various models and wood-specs. Will owns two TSG’s, Jupiter and Juno, which he’s recorded and toured with extensively.

Will often accompanies Tom on various musical adventures whether it be to guitar shows or special guitar-delivery recitals for clients, and you'll likely find them enjoying a whisky over a game of chess somewhere along the way!

SHOP DOG

Multi-award winning tail-wagger and butt-sniffer, Stella is the heart of our team.She brings a welcome burst of oxytocin when stress levels are high as well as acting as our entire HR department, Head of Security, and Therapy Pup.

Her excess neck skin doubles up as a Tudor ruff or neck pillow, depending on her mood. 

Our guitars wouldn’t be the same without Stella’s keen oversight.
