We were offered Roger Williams’ stock of tonewoods as he’s now retiring, we bought the wood and he kindly dropped it in on his way to Cornwall for a Spring break.
Tony Kerry is a long term Brook supporter and has many of our guitars.This time Tony went for a classic looking Newlyn with a pyramid bridge,
A Douglas Fir top
And Koa back and sides.
About five years ago we made a slim-line Taw in cherry and walnut for Phil.
He recently came across another that we made for a customer in North Devon in 2012. It features a couple of Charlie Christian style pickups, a cream paint job, a unique pick guard
And Steinberger gearless tuners.
A couple of years ago Richard bought a 2007 Torridge and just recently found a 2011 Tavy fan fret in Somerset to keep it company!
James Filkins has a Kickstarter campaign to help fund his third album Cranes In The Moonlight, the first single released features James’ Tamar, you can find out about it here.
We’ve just re-set the neck on this very nice Alister Atkin jumbo.
We’re going to have to glue up the headstock on this Torridge 015 which must have received a nasty blow!
A Gibson Keb Mo model was on the workbench in need of some attention.
Here’s a brief view of some guitars that are nearly ready to string up – in the spray room
And on the shelf by our fitting up benches, with a bit of luck you’ll see some of these completed next month!
