Marcus, who we featured in Babbling Brook issue 5, picked up his new Lamorna.
This Lamorna is going out to Pam in the States,
Here’s a close up of the redwood top.
The back is old stock Bocote,
We veneered the back of the headstock with ebony
And fitted gold Shertler tuners.
When we heard Elliot Smith’s Le Domino guitar sold recently for $35,000 it reminded us that a couple of years ago we made a Torridge inspired by the old Regal model,
For ours we made up bone inlays throughout rather than the transfers used on the 1930’s original!
Andy carried out a complex head repair on this badly damaged SG,
Here’s a series of photos of the work involved.
He also sprayed a butterscotch finish on this Tele.
This custom-made Ry Cooder inspired Strat was brought in and required some major adjustments to get it to play in tune and to line up the strings with the neck and pickups.
Jack’s been working on some delicate swallow inlays.
Anyone wanting to visit the workshop should be aware that the bridge is being replaced so if we have a lot of rain you may not be able to get through the ford,
Until the work’s completed give us a call before you visit.
