    I think i just messed myself.....scratch that, I very definitely just messed myself. That is utterly fabulous. The colour, the quilt, the lines just gorgeous. How did it feel to play?

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

    As i said im not the best player, but it sounded awesome, very resinous and clean, i was very nervous playing it..lol he prides himself on hand picking the timbers just to get the best sounds. he had Tommy Emanuell play one of his guitars and he was very impressed.
    They take him from 200-500 hrs to make from scratch. He cuts all his own timber, buys nothing in.

    Ah that's alright! But I definitely would be interested to see more of his work and any pics of the process!
