SVL Guitars is a small English custom shop founded by Simon Law, a professional guitar repairman and amplifier technician who set up the brand after years of working on high-end custom and boutique instruments. Originally established in Gloucestershire and later based in Hampshire, SVL is a one-man operation, with Law building each guitar himself and finishing them in thin coats of nitrocellulose lacquer.

The lineup centers on vintage-inspired S-style solidbodies, including the SVL Custom, SVL Reserve, SVL Super and the SVL '61 Reserve, often offered in aged or "Journeyman" relic finishes. Builds typically feature hand-cut vintage bone nuts and custom-wound pickups, with an emphasis on traditional tonewoods and hardware.

The guitars have developed a following in the boutique S-type market and are stocked by specialist dealers such as World Guitars, Eastside Music Supply and TR Crandall. Robben Ford is among the players known to use SVL instruments.

SVL Guitars has 4 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Rock and Blues. Notable users include Matt Schofield.
