July 2024
A couple of years ago our good friends artists Phil and Anna picked up sticks and left the U.K. to live in Cyprus. Since then they’ve been busy renovating their house in a small mountain village on the island and are now set up to continue with their painting and music, as well as offering courses in complementary therapies and the visual arts.
Danny came down to pick up the latest guitars for Intersound.
Ben came down from London to pick up his new Tavy,
it has a Sitka top, English walnut back and sides and we fitted a K&K Trinity system.
Andy dropped these two into Project Music –
A Torridge and a Lyn, both rosewood and European spruce.
By the time you read this these two should be up with Coda –
A rosewood and Sitka Newlyn and a maple and European spruce Blackwater.
We have a nylon strung short scale Cherry on the go for Steve in Dorset, we thought you might like to take a peek before it went together!
Last month Andy re-sawed the fine English walnut we showed you, I joined and thicknessed it along with a lacewood set, this vintage tight grained wenge and two sets of twenty five year old Palo Escrito, a species of rosewood.
In for repair: A Taylor with split ribs and a Santa Cruz with a severely bellying top,
A PRS with a chunk out of the headstock, here’s the before and after shot,
And yet another Gibson with a headstock break, this time an SG – it’s a tricky one that someone has previously had a go at repairing.
We also had this Rory Gallagher Strat in for a fret dress – better mask it up well to avoid marking it!
Quite a few guitars went out this month, before they disappeared to their new homes we took a photo of them on display.
More next month!
