I'm aware people will be watching the kickabout on the television tonight rather than reading this but Friday I started a little service on an early '80s Roland Cube amp.

Am loving the wording on the reverb pan sticker!

Haven't made any Guitar Slide stands for a fair while, but have managed to pull myself away from reading comments on Count Binface videos for long enough to fulfill worldwide demand. Probably. Anybody looking for a respectable place to keep your slides let me know!

Seeing as it's 500° in the UK at the moment, I'm having a hot tub party outside the workshop tomorrow starting at 9am.

The hot tub's been delivered, bring your own banjo.

Right then, my little chipmunks! Could be my first post of the year of the mods on this Charvel Avenger. Stripped down, filling in the routs for three single coils and switch to go full on rock'n'roll machine. Single JB humbucker routed at an angle in the bridge and lone volume control. Output jack moved to top horn and refinished in fluorescent pink. Only one person I know who could pull off that look.

It seems my customers have had a competition between themselves as to who could bring me the weirdest instrument.

For those waiting patiently for repairs or setups I will finally be back in the workshop from today all jetlagged up! First holiday in nearly eight years, I say holiday but I still spent most of the time looking at guitars.... and graves...

A while back I had the great idea to make a proper replica of the Bigsby Merle Travis guitar. So far I've had nearly five days on it, mostly just trying to scale off the few good photos in existence to make a plan! That hasn't even included the back and sides. Made up some templates today for the majority of parts... going to take a while!

(This weeks...) ultimate workshop amp.

Flippin' Eck, I haven't posted at all this year! Things have been pretty pretty busy, a lot of interesting and really varied things, just literally no time to think about putting them online. The social media king. Anyway... here's a (rather butchered) lovely little early '70s Musicmaster Bass. Quite what or who decided to get a rat to chew out some cavities for pickups rather than just rout them properly is anyones guess. A bit of filling here and there and now ready to fight another 50 years.
