Favourite Pastime?

the back

 

Very nice!!! Telecaster bridge is an interesting addition...
Is your playing as good as your craftsmanship?

 

That looks awesome, I bet the lad is well pleased....

 

And thus began the tissue shortage in @Duckadiledundee ’s house

 

I had a Gordon Smith GS1 years ago. Played so well, super light low action.
Lesson to self, don’t trade guitars in!!

 

Looks like grey wolf knows that lesson

 

It's a Schaller roller bridge , I use them on most of my builds .. easy to dial in the sting alignment ...my latest is a 20th anni Cocobolo top with Powertron/ Setzer/ Powertron Plus 5 way and a blend , master vol and tone

 

That one, and the Japanese Epiphany Riviera. Damn, that thing sounded sweet. And pretty!!
I sold the Epiphone to my best man, needed funds to finance an ill advised wedding. 21 yo me knew everything. 52 yo has learned a few lessons along the way, and I s happy to know fuck all.
He still lives at home with his mum, and has probably still got the guitar. next time I come in to an unexpected lump of cash I'll get in touch and rescue it!
Until then, I'll knuckle down and get some more hours into my fingers on the acoustic.

I'm midway through a restoration of another Epiphone that belonged to the kids dad. I'm restoring it for the obvious connection to their dad, but also because it was once played by a certain Mr G Harrison!

 

Now that’s stunning

 

This is my other passion

 

I take it you are the bassist?

 

Yeah, I got the easy job

 

Whatever...

 

Looks like a Music Man ..nice bass ! Basses are my favorite to build!

 

Very nice work. Mine is a G&L, Leo's next venture after Musicman, best basses I've ever played

 

G&L =good gear , George Fullerton was also a great engineer ( The G)

 

I used to box for the forces,then professionaly,I still do a bit of training now and again.But the competing is long gone

 

Haha

 

Yeah great nights,and great discipline for youngsters.My view is the training would solve a lot of troubles in today's youth culture!

 

Managed to sneak off to the range while on Gozo.....
