New guitar (on the R) is finally done, phew! Much like the first, but with higher output pickups, and a GK-3 modeling pickup, internal install. The up and down patch buttons are nice to have onboard. The neck also has a zero fret, which I prefer. #guitar #luthier

We're open!

I'm excited to be taking part in the Open Quays event in North Shields this weekend.

Come visit my workshop on the North Shields fish quay. 11am - 4pm Saturday and Sunday.

This custom tenor ukulele uses English walnut and Spanish cypress. There's a custom sound hole inlay and half moon fret markers.

Other bespoke details are the bronze frets, gold tuners and maple bindings

Starting work on a new tenor guitar. This one's ovangkol and spruce.

New guitar project is well underway: just glued on the drop top. Black limba body with ovangkol top, shaped sort of like a Strandberg Sälen with a 335 lower horn. #luthier #guitar

I'm very pleased with the simple looks of this soprano ukulele.
