Stripped down HSS

March 28, 2021March 28, 2021 by guitarman

This one is from the guitar hospital. A totally resurrected guitar body and a new neck. I found an old body online that someone had tried to relic without much success, being covered in green household paint. Deep gouges had been made in the body in an attempt to make it very road worn.

A customer came to collect a Tele style guitar and asked if I could make a bass to his design. “Of course” I replied. “How much do you want to spend and what would you like it to look like?” My client had a budget of £800 and apart from a few requirements such as …

At last, I am proud to announce that my newest model The Gheko Fire is ready. My own design. This particular model is made from Purpleheart wood which, as you can guess, is purple. Along with a contrasting canadian maple neck to give what I think is a fairly stunning look. There are a few …

May 29, 2020May 29, 2020 by guitarman

We all love those iconic, timeless designs from Fender, Gibson and the like but I feel it it time to develop my own style. And that is what I have done. I have designed and created two unique models. The Gheko Fire and the Gheko Ice. These are slightly different from my other guitars in …

Lock down makes you do strange things

April 14, 2020April 14, 2020 by guitarman

It is a real pain not being able to get to my wood supplier and who knows how long it will be before I can get to browse through the timber. So I decided to use up some old maple, beech and walnut and make a 6 string lap steel guitar!! Not quite what I …
