Building and repairing guitars and other stringed instruments
Acoustic Bass ( Current Project )
I am currently building on behalf of a London based client, an acoustic bass guitar.
I am making it entirely of Walnut from a tree which was came down in Kew Gardens and was purported
to have been planted by Queen Victoria! Anyway, as you can see it's a lovely piece of timber.
Here are some photos which I will update from time to time as the project progresses.
