Beginning with a full-time Teaching career at Campbelltown High School in 1985, Phil Haworth was approached to help a year 10 student who needed help making an acoustic guitar. Phil decided to help the young man, and by doing so, discovered a passion for crafting stringed instruments. In 1999 Phil left his teaching position to start up his new business Haworth Guitars.      

In the early years, Phil focused mostly on building and repairing stringed instruments, but as the years progressed, the demand for more brands and more types of musical instruments increased. Hence the expansion in 2000 from the workshop to shopfront in Johnson Street Kiama Downs, and then 2005 the purchase of an additional store in Warilla. In 2008, these two stores were amalgamated into a two-level superstore Haworth's Shellharbour Music Centre with adjacent Warehouse, in Durgadin Drive Albion Park Rail.

Nowadays, Phil is getting back into some more casual guitar-building at home. The business is good hands though with Phil's son Glenn Haworth taking the reins in 2011 becoming General Manager and Director of the company and Glenn's sister Deanna managing the webpage. 

Over the years, the Haworth team have discovered there are 6 main reasons why people deal with Haworth's and why they keep on coming back again and again and again. 

 

Luthier Reputation

 Phil Haworth has constructed and sold countless stringed instruments over his 30-plus years of being a luthier (stringed instrument maker) and has passed much of his knowledge on to the Haworth team today 

 

Skilled Repair Centre

This hub of stringed instrument repairs as well as drums and other instruments, gives the customer confidence in dealing with a company who know their product inside and out.  Every guitar or bass sold at Haworth's comes with two complimentary services valued at $138

 

Young Blood

 Glenn Haworth is determined to put his own mark on the business while continuing the traditions his father started. Glenn is dedicated to making the Haworth Experience ever better for his customers and with the support of his youthful staff, will continue to grow the family business in a fun and exciting way 

 

Warehouse & Ebay Pricing

 Due to Haworth's huge warehouse and strong online presence, their prices are often the lowest in the country, and if they aren't, they always do their best to beat any advertised price

 

Huge Range of Stock 

   With all the leading major brands at Haworth's fingertips and with two huge levels of floor space to showcase them, there is never any shortage of choice.

 

Rock-Star Service

Phil and his team have always treated their customer's like old friends and have always done their best to exceed each clients' expectations. This tradition continues today, with all staff being made very aware that part of the Haworth's Mission Statement is to provide customers with the Rock-Star experience
