News

 

Welcome to the all new website,

 

We hope you enjoy it.

 

Things are busy in the workshop as ever.

 

I have just completed a very rewarding build of a parlour guitar for a customer based in California.

 

It is based on my own 1840 Louis Panormo but built for steel strings.

 

You can see photo's in the parlour section or the whole build on our facebook page.

 

 

I have also started work on a trip down memory lane.

 

1975 revisited.

 

I am building a new triple neck guitar based on the original Led Zeppelin guitar I built for John Paul Jones.

 

I really wanted to see how I would approach the project after all these years, with all the knowledge I have gained.

 

I am aiming to get the best possible acoustic performance from all three instruments.

 

It is a challenging, enjoyable build so far. You can follow the build process as it evolves on our facebook page.


 

 

Seth has just finished a beautiful new Baritone guitar for Jas Morris from Rude Tiger.

 

It features a light weight Swamp Ash body and Bare Knuckle pick ups.

 

The tone is astounding, the Ash adds a chiming quality to the treble, balanced perfectly with the bass provided by the long string length and drop tuning.

 

You can see more pictures here and you can check out Rude tiger using Seth's guitars here .

You can also see Jas doing a short demo of Seth's DC 390 guitar here
