BENJAMIN JACKSON:

NAVIGATE THE TOURING WORLD WITH A VETERAN GUITAR TECHNICIAN'S INSIGHTS.

MY MISSION

With a lifelong connection to guitars, inspired by my grandad's passion for the instrument in the 1930s, my career as a touring guitar technician spans over 14 years. This journey has taken me across genres, from heavy metal to acoustic folk, proving that the guitar's universal appeal transcends musical boundaries. My early days saw me hitting the road with my own van, supporting bands like Army of Freshman and All Time Low, which eventually led to working with high-profile acts such as Don Broco, Neck Deep, and Yungblud. My aim is to share the knowledge and experiences I've gathered from nearly a decade on the road, offering guidance to those aspiring to become professional touring technicians.
