Stuff on new guitars, things that's been thru' my workshop, events etc. Apologies for the clunkiness..but I'm still trying to hack my way through this REALLY clunky, unfriendly interface on this website!! There must be a better way of doing it!
Here's one I made earlier...a contact in the music business put me onto these people..and they've commissioned me to make a guitar for their product tasing roadshows at festivals up and down the UK.

Another Woolworths "Audition". I put this together from part I found on eBay, the body and neck were one lot, the scratchplate an electrics another. Amazingly, I managed to buy bang-on repro parts..machineheads, bridge and vibrato unit. | A really nice 1939 Harmony, I took the neck out and reset it, gave it a new ebony bridge and bone nut, made a new scratchplate and that was about it, ready to go.

Stella resonator 12 string made for Clive Sheard. I took a Harmony Grand Concert Guitar, took the neck out, fitted a new birch top and soundwell, installed a 12 stirig Stella neck..hey presto..a guitar that Harmony never made, but perhaps they should have. |  Another great plywood marvel. I found this in a junk shop, fixed it up and sent it off to live in France. This one is a Jedson (tho' there as no badge on it), and these pickups are really great sounding things. |  "The Pyronator"..custom made for UK punk blues legend Hollowbelly. It's got an aluminium body, "Continental" uke cone, laminated neck and a mini-humbucker. |
 I've started making cases again..hers one with blue 'moc-croc' vinyl covering. |  Fixing a headstock break on Rob Lane's Takamine workhorse guitar. in and out of the workshop in 48 hours and back on the road. |  Another of my alubox resonators, this one is ChilliCool Kev's 4 string. |
What a sound this guitar has, full and warm, from a simple single coil pickup and a skinny plywood body.
