Guy will be coming down from Andover shortly to pick up his new cutaway Torridge, it has a Sitka spruce top
And figured mahogany back and sides.
Graham recently acquired this cutaway 2009 Taw from Music & Bean in Okehampton. He sent us this photo, appropriately taken above the Taw valley!
This is the latest guitar for Intersound – a cedar Lyn
With red gum back and sides.
Two guitars for Project here – a walnut and European spruce Torridge and a flamed ovangkol and Sitka spruce Lamorna.
John Gillespie came over from Cornwall for a set-up on his Sitka and yew Lamorna.
This figured mahogany Newlyn went off to Coda.
Phil Taylor’s latest album Late Nights & Forget Me Nots features his Lamorna on fourteen of the tracks.
Pete Berryman called in and played us some sublime guitar on the way back from a family gathering in Bampton where he took this photo of his Tamar!
Now for some repairs: We’re working on a rather messy neck break on Mike’s twenty year old Tamar.
Here’s Andy working on a neck reset on a vintage Yairi.
There are some lacquer repairs to do on this rather nice Gibson 160E – more commonly known as the John Lennon guitar!
And finally – I flattened and re-profiled the frets on this Yamaha for Dave from South Molton and Andy made up a new bone saddle.
