The Guitar Building Thread by Spliff'o'matic - Page 6

Just tried a few traynors the other day, decent amp. Lewis Guitars make some great stuff, but I dont really approve of c.a.d. All my guitars are completely hand made. I would like to keep it that way.

The sustain does indeed rock. Its just got bucketloads of it.

I'd have to agree with the idea of not using a computer to design guitars if the luthier is also a player. Not sure if the creator of Lewis actually was an axeman himself. (He passed away recently )
If you run into any really old Traynor's they're a steal these days and sound like a combination of British and American amps. The best qualities of both. Collectors are only now catching on to how good the things were.
Herzog units are another well kept Canadian secret. If you see one you can afford, grab it with both hands and run before the guy who owns the music shop knows what he parted with.

Sick man! Quality geetars right there. Those finished tops look sick, brings out the grains so well. I'm definitely going to look more into your work!

Some old pics of that guitar ^^
Its not 100% polished in those photos, I leave the last bit of polishing just before I send it off as to ensure no scratches.

I need a new camera, it bleaches the finish in the photo. So just picture it around 2 shades darker.

Hope you guys enjoy. Got 4 or 5 guitars that are going to be finished in the next week. So I will take some nice photos of those for you lot.
