The People Behind Iconic
Thank you for taking the time to read about us. Iconic Guitars was founded by Kevin Proctor in 2012. It had been in incubation and planning for quite some time prior to the official launch. These few people are the backbone of Iconic Custom and what make us who we are.

Despite all that, those who know Kevin would argue that his most valuable skill is bringing together and empowering individuals whom have mastered their disciplines and, when combined, equal a team of unparalleled talent, experience and know-how.
