Hutchinson Guitar Concepts is a UK-based custom guitar workshop founded in 2011 by luthier James Hutchinson. The shop specializes in one-off builds and heavily modified instruments, often drawing visual inspiration from Norse and Mayan mythology, sci-fi, steampunk, and medieval themes. Much of the work involves intricate carving, hand-finishing, and bespoke electronics installations on customer-supplied or HGC-built guitars.

The workshop's portfolio includes original models such as the Limulus, a single-cutaway with a heavily arched top, alongside concept builds like the Viking V, Storm Crow, Blitzkrieg, Copper Top, Steel Top, Hetrod, and the Crimson Idol tribute (CI25). Hutchinson has also produced custom guitars for James Hetfield of Metallica, including modified ESP Snakebyte and ESP Eclipse builds.
