Starting point ...

struts go on tomorrow - Simon tells me!

I've always dreamt of having a bespoke, hand-built guitar. You are one lucky fellow, and I hope it becomes a lifetime friend! Of course, I'd want it in a weird colour (green glitter!) lol, but that's just me. What a lovely experience though - watching it take shape is really cool.

Greeny - I know I am a lucky fellow to have this, I know what it is like to have very little and to have to make-do, so this is a big thrill for me. I figured if I didn't do it now - you never know what is around the corner, so what the 'eck

Not cheap, but not as expensive as you would think. In fact the taylored build is the same as buying one of their pre-built guitars - and its fascinating watching it be 'born'. I'm sure it will be a lifetime friend - and it will be played lots.

I am envious.

I have a buddy who has built five or six just for himself and his son.  He has really impressed me.  I want him to build a Gibson L-5 (solidbody) with some Seymour Duncan P-Rails. I wonder if this will ever happen.

Please continue to post images in this thread on its progress.

Congrats.

Blooby - sure thing - I will continue to add on this thread as I get them.

NB I've posted piccies of Brook No 1 (Taw), which was shop bought https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=14562.0;msg=184765


The one being built will be bigger bodied guitar (a Tavy)

The trouble with Brook Guitars is once you've played one, you're hooked \

Sweet!!!

Progress - should be ready in six weeks!

It's got the majority of the lacquer on, Brook leave it a week now to harden, then flat it down again and spray the final coats.

Coming along nicely! Bet you can't wait!
