Purchased new in November 08, this 1958 Replica was in the workshop within a week for its custom plate, wiring and Dimarzio pickups.
Electric Guitars
The great thing about truly custom guitars is that you tell me what YOU want in your dream guitar.
Here are some of the guitars I have either created or customised in the past.
Jackson Randy Rhodes 3
This guitar was purchased as a Randy Rhodes 3 painted black with Jackson whammy and Seymour Duncan pickups.
Unfortunately, if you went hard on the whammy, the tuning would suffer. As a result the guitar was stripped down and I found that where the neck bolted to the body, there were cracks in the body from the string tension on the neck joint.
It was decided to set the neck using my own technique, after which I decided to upgrade the paint job and, yes, it now has acrylic lacquer.
GW1
The name kind of says it all…
The first guitar I designed and built from the ground up.. for me!
This guitar, for me, was putting my years of playing into what I would consider the ultimate ‘Live’ guitar.
The body consists of Australian Ash, with an American Walnut cap. The Ash was chambered before the cap was glued in place, so in fact it is a chambered body.
