A page dedicated to my most recent builds plus other interesting projects brought in by my customers.
LATEST - January / February 2025.
​
My latest projest is a total refurbishment of a 25+ year old strat copy from a now defunct Asian company (Legend). It has a full width piano black body, nice rosewood neck and decent tuners. I will be adding S/H HSS pick-ups, tort guard plus the following will all be new parts: NW Guitars tremolo bridge, Alpha brass bushed pots, switch, paper in oil cap and Gilmour electronics. I will post pictures when it is completed. I am expecting to sell it for sub £200.00.
LATEST - November 2024.
​
My latest projest is for a local musician who would like his Fender Telecaster (currently a Wilko Johnson tribute) retro - fitted with a B5 type Bigsby, stainless steel flat bridge plate and a Seymour Duncan 5 - 2 bridge pickup. He has chosen to do this as he has recently purchased a beautiful Chapman ML3 Pro Traditional (like mine) which has scratched his standard format telecaster itch, allowing him to turn his existing Fender into a country / rock machine.
LATEST - September 2024.
​
My latest completed project is a stereo pedal board build for one of my regular customers.
It consists of a new Pedaltrain board, a new Fender 'Engine Room' power supply and a myriad of highly desirable pedals that the gentleman has collected through the years!
LATEST - August 2024.
​
My latest completed project is a makeover of my everyday strat, paying homage to
Billy Joe Armstrong's incredible performance with Green Day at the 2024 Isle of Wight Festival.
Massive energy for a two hour set to close the festival, and I am still playing and singing the songs today. It's well worth watching the full video on YouTube if you are into tuneful punk music like me!
​
LATEST - June 2024.
​
My latest project on the bench is a complete refurbishment of 1978 Fullerton factory, USA Fender Stratocaster.
​
This is a customers guitar that was modded during the 90's with a Kahler bridge, different electronics and Sperzel locking tuners.
​
The customer has requested me to return it to it's original specification except for the tuners as Fender went on to use Sperzels on their later premium models.
​
The bonus is that the customer is moving house and doesn't want the guitar back for a couple of months so I can use it until then!
