    Very quiet on the guitar building front at the moment. I have some more builds lined up, but I'm not quite ready to get into them.
    My band recently found a drummer - who is also an audio engineer with an awesome rehearsal space, so there has been a fair bit more playing guitar than building recently. We are also renovating, having the house painted and a driveway put in, which has knock on of about a million jobs I need to do to prep, including rebuilding the front stair case. The old treads are all nice big chunks of hardwood, so I'm sure you can guess what will become of the ones that are in halfway good condition. Stay tuned for that.

    Otherwise I thought some of you might be interested in this work in progress. I had half an idea to hand paint a design on the last guitar and I think I will at some point, but this was a fun warm up. Not quite done, but it's a lot of fun.





    Nice to be painting again as I really haven't got them out since the guitar building bug bit.
    Build 1 - Shoegazer MK1 JMA-1
    Build 2 - The Relliecaster TL-1
    Build 3 - The Black Cherry SG AG-1
    Build 4 - The Sonicaster TL-1ish
    Build 5 - The Steampunker Bass YB-4
    Build 6 - The Howling Gowing ST-1

    Stairway to Heaven on the Stairway Guitar?

    Chair looks awesome! My daughter would love that, so I can't show her the photo lest I set an unattainable goal for myself.
