Not the greatest of guitars, but with a bit of work this one is going to something special!I I’ve been given almost a free hand to do whatever I want so I’m looking forward to producing something different. The first thing it needs is a god clean. The next step is to sort out the […]

This time last month….
Last of the big Guitar builders… Martin. I think they were probably the best, most accurately made. Look like the only ones to actually check how level the frets are with a laser guided CNC machine and level them once the build is complete.

Gibson SG – Cleanup

Telecaster Build

This Time Last Month…
After a very interesting trip around the Taylor Factory we headed back up the road to LA for the Fender Factory, very interesting to see the differences.. Out of there we headed northeast for a run across the desert….To Las Vegas.
This time last Month….
Ever wondered where your guitar came from? who made it and how? I recently bought a Taylor so we went over the factory in El Cajon. I want one!!!
