North Road Guitars, located in Fremont, NH, is a guitar building workshop run by John Whiteside, a retired professional who has found solace and fulfillment in crafting guitars and teaching others to do the same. Specializing in steel string guitars optimized for finger picking, John's instruments are known for their sweet, clear, and responsive sound, with a fast attack and surprising volume. With a focus on mindfulness and craftsmanship, John creates one or two guitars a year and offers individualized instruction to one or two students at a time.
Surrounded by the scenic NH coastal plain, North Road Guitars operates out of an 1846 former one room schoolhouse, where John's well-equipped and well-lit workshop is located. Emphasizing a personalized experience, John involves his clients in the building process, allowing them to choose wood, shape the neck, and design the decorative scheme, resulting in a guitar that is not only tailored to their preferences but also provides a memorable journey. Whether building guitars or teaching, John's dedication to the craft shines through in every instrument he creates.
