December 2024
Ken popped down from Delabole to pick up his new Taw, it’ll join his growing collection of Brooks – he already has a Teign, Tavy and a Blackwater!
Mark drove down from Hampshire to pick up his new Lamorna,
With a Sitka top, cutaway, a pyramid bridge
And English walnut back and sides.
We’ve had a couple of Rory Gallagher’s collection of guitars in for some fettling and a change of strings! He played this Washburn on his Jinx album tour dates and on the Defender album,
And another favourite of his, a Swedish Bjarton parlour, was featured on the first Taste album.
We’ve just sent these two guitars off to Coda – a figured mahogany Taw and a rosewood Tamar.
This twenty year old Teign suffered a neck break whilst it was being sent down to us for a pickup installation,
Here it is back together and has now been returned to the happy owner.
Jonathan brought his Maruszczyk bass along for us enlarge the cavity to fit this substantial Seymour Duncan pickup.
A shelf full of set-ups!
And a couple more – an Epiphone Les Paul and a PRS.
Andy replaced the robotic tuners on this Gibson Les Paul with a standard set of Gibson Deluxe tuners.
Our newly installed bridge was hit by a falling tree earlier on in the month, luckily it didn’t do too much damage and, as you can see, it’s clear again now.
Season’s Greetings to all our customers, visitors to our website and Facebook friends.
Have an enjoyable winter break and we’ll see you again next year!
