About Me

You are never too old to Rock they say,I'm 47. Four years ago my son wanted a Strat guitar and I duly built him one.Twenty three or so Strats later (plus a few other types in between) it's turned into a major hobby (not an obsession as my good lady refers to).Have always got some quality guitars up for grabs.Looking to expand my horizons doing refinishes for paying (reasonable prices) customers !! Have posted plenty of photos of past projects for reference. Always welcome to requests for unusual & different finishes.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

David Gilmour,Eric Clapton
