David, a superb guitarist, ordered this custom Otter, our slope shouldered dreadnought.
He opted for plenty of abalone inlay
We used matching koa for the top, back and sides,
There’s a koa veneer on the back of the headstock and an abalone border on the face. Check out how David’s new guitar sounds on our YouTube channel.
Danny and Alex came down to pick up the latest two guitars for Intersound.
Bob picked up his new Tamar,
640 mm scale,
Belly bridge, European spruce top with walnut back and sides
And Jack adapted a robin, holly and laurel leaf headstock inlay from Bob’s original design.
Bob sent us this photo of the new guitar accompanied by his other two Brooks.
Nick from the band Pendragon brought over this badly damaged 000-18. Andy did a fine job putting the jigsaw puzzle back together before refinishing the side.
Here’s Jamie Meldau with his Taw playing with Cable Street at The Gold Hill Festival in Shaftesbury earlier in the month. No leopards were harmed in the making of the hat!
Ian Chatterton now has Michelle’s Torridge and appropriately sent us this photo taken by the river Torridge in Bideford.
Alan called in for a look around the workshop and for a quick tweak of his two Brooks.
An excellent photo of Julian in his wild garden in Milton Keynes wearing his Brook tee shirt.
It was great to hear Antony Chipperfield playing some of his songs on his Tavy a few weeks ago,
Antony owns and runs the excellent Rambler’s Rest on Exmoor – Britain’s highest coastal road tea room!
Megan and Brian from Red, Green and Blue picked up two repairs we’d just carried out on two of their guitars: a new bridge and sorting out the intonation on the Eastman, and mending the split side on the Blondel.
Tony popped in the other day accompanied by Pete, Tony had come over from Australia to visit and place an order for a Lyn.
Andy refinished this Eric Clapton Strat where the original lacquer was literally falling off.
With the second display of fine headwear this month we have Tony proudly showing off his new Brook bucket hat!
