Groover And Co

About Me

My name is Steve. I come from the Northeast of England and have done my time playing guitar in rock bands in England and beyond, starting at a young age in 1969. Esoteric Guitars is my own brand of hand made one off bespoke guitars and basses. Groover Amplifornication is my own brand of hand wired Valve studio Amps and Cabs. I have always fixed my own instruments and amps. I soon realised that I was just as interested in ripping guitars apart and putting them back together, so that they worked better, as I was in playing them (almost). I've worked for Seymour Duncan & Basslines Pickups. Gretsch Guitars, Gretsch Drums, G&L, Aria, Reverend & Pignose Guitars. Rat Pedals. Graphtech, Gotoh, Wilkinson Parts. Pignose Amps. As a designer (ARIA) and in Artist Relations, Marketing, Product Development. I have also set up, fixed, upgraded and repaired guitars, basses and valve amps for many musicians (Some who are Listed In Band Members) I have also helped many Pro musicians design their own guitars and basses, some signature models for major guitar manufacturers. I have my own guitar centric business called GROOVER AND CO which caters to ALL guitarist's technical, repair and upgrade needs. Esoteric Guitars is my own brand of hand made one off bespoke guitars and basses. I collect guitars, pedals, amps, NOS valves and all other manner of guitar parts and have been doing so for decades. I love live and studio environments and I am continuing my Life's Work as a guitar doctor that does house calls. Rock has given me a fantastic life and I am interested in keeping people rocking and playing great Rock... Feel free to e-mail with any questions !!
