Meanjin guitarists; consider this your reminder that instrument plays their best with a check up every now and then! I’m very keen to invest more time into the Wrecker repair shop this year, so if you’ve been putting off a service, repair or modification - get in touch now! (Website in the bio)

Wrecker Ta**us - hopefully the first of many baritone builds.

I designed this guitar for with a European retro-futurist vibe in mind. Features include a 28.5” scale length, 9.5” radius ebony fretboard, split headstock design (the sister build to the Aquarius), firebird pups, a fantastic Goldo vibrato and few too many rocker switches imho.

This one was such a joy to build/play and I’m a touch sad to see it head down south to Naarm, but I can’t wait to hear what Dylan does with it

Same same but different vibes for this Radiothon prize build. Not usually a Tele person but had fun mixing this one up a little and am happy with how it turned out. Few more tweaks and this one will finally be making its way to Daniel who won it in last year’s radiothon.
