Ancoats’ guitars are made by David Roberts in a converted shipping container in Pollard Yard, Manchester. “It was an old parking lot or something, but it now has around 130 shipping containers – just a lined empty container with patio doors on the front – and everyone’s turned them into their own start-up businesses,” David tells us. After attending an evening class at Merton College in London about a decade ago, before relocating to Manchester, David sold his first Ancoats guitar around three years ago and now splits his time as a radiographer and guitar maker 50/50.
