    hello from Gary Bray guitars

    Hello every one I have never done a kit guitar before a friend ask me if I would do the LPM-1 kit for him why not should be interesting. I am going to order the ES175 hb style as well. Being a builder I know there are those who are against the kits, some are better than others, have seen some that were really bad especially the neck fit. Im ok with the kits it will help players understand exactly what they have in their hands and appreciate their guitars more. 90% of my customers dont have a clue about their guitars or even basic adjustments. Will be ordering the LP and 175 soon thanks every one.

    G'day Gary. I have to admit I did a quick google check as I was interested in your instruments. I found that story about you (I think that's you!) on the Journal Star site. Your instruments look amazing - great work! Love to see more pics.

    Btw, that looks like that's a Peoria based news site? If so, my ex in-laws are in Princeton IL and I've been to a couple of Peoria Chiefs games in my time!
    Completed Builds: #1 TL-1 "Telemaster" (GOTM Oct 2016); #2 The "Maplecaster" scratch build; #3 JB-4 "Bass IV" (co-winner GOTM Jan 2017); #4 ST-1M "Surfcaster" (GOTM Apr 2017), #5 JZA-1 "EC Deluxe"

    In Progress:
    Build #6 N1R "Semi-scratch" build
    Build #7 JZA-1 Baritone

    The Magnificent Compaņeros
