Andy Crockett began his professional career as a guitar maker in 1975. He is best known for his range of JC1 archtops, made to a design by his long time friend and guitarist Jon Case  (they built their first guitar together in 1964). The JC1 is influenced by the D’Angelico tradition, and is used by Jazz players like Jim Mullen. Custom options are available.

Andy Crockett is associated with acoustic guitar maker Alistair Atkins, sharing the same workshop address in the historic city of Canterbury, UK.
