Febuary 2025
Simon Moore completed his film of us in the Brook Workshop you can watch it on our YouTube channel here.
John from Southampton sent us this photo of himself with his new Tavy along with his Taw and his Carey.
We sent this rosewood Torridge off to Nadeem in Barnet, he got in touch to say “Thank you so much for the beautiful guitar that you have made for me. I cannot put into words how happy I am with it!” Thanks Nadeem!
I picked out some nice sets of interesting tonewoods to join and thickness earlier this month, from left to right: myrtle, yew, walnut, zebrano and ropalo lacewood. If anyone is interested in any of these for their next guitar let us know!
Thanks again to Jon Woode for participating in the film. Here’s a photo of his Tavy and his Lamorna in front of Laura’s painting for his latest album cover.
Plans for two new models on the go at the moment – another ‘0’ style, a little smaller than our Lyn model
And a fourteen fret Weaver for a customer in the U.S.
Andy fitted a pickup in Marcus’ Lamorna.
Amongst other repairs we setup this Martin which needed some attention.
Here are two stills from the film – A Tavy and a Taw
And a Clyst and a Lamorna.
Some sharp eyed customers noticed an old photo tucked behind a guitar in the December news,
Back when Andy had a lot more hair and I was somewhat slimmer, when we were working with Andy Manson in the mid 1990s, we made these copies of his Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones triple necks for a Japanese Led Zeppelin tribute band!
The snowdrops are late this year, here they are with our scaffolded workshop in the background while the roof is being waterproofed.
That’s all for this month!
