Rob’s Junior

Rob contacted me inquiring initially about having me build him a Tele style guitar. After some discussion, the project did not go ahead. Rob contacted me again some time later with a new idea - He had found some old parts that he had from when he was in a band in England in the late 60s and wondered if a guitar could be built which uses these parts.

We met and I had a look at the parts - some electronics, output jacks, volume control, but most importantly a pickup and vibrato system. I designed a new guitar for Rob and began building in Nov 2023.

We chose to keep as much of the wonderful Mahogany showing as possible, so the pickup was mounted to the end of the neck like on a jazz guitar, and a really long hole was drilled from the neck pocket to the control cavity to facilitate this. Some chrome volume and tone controls, and the bridge a tailpiece are all this guitar needs to look great. And it sounds great too - that vintage pickup really has a sweet tone.

I had a great time building this guitar. I used primarily hand tools for the build - only electric drills and sanders were used, everything else was done manually. I always look for a good excuse to use hand tools like planes, saws, and chisels. They make for a much more peaceful workshop experience!

Gareth’s 480 style guitar

Gareth reached out to me late 2021 wanting to put together a dream custom guitar. He was keen to get hands on with the process and initially was wanting to have some parts made for him to assemble - but after seeing the depth of customisation that is available, he opted to have the guitar built nearly to completion to get some really cool custom specs.

Here we have a 480 style body with a reverse headstock, using African Mahogany for the body, Wenge for the neck, and Ebony for the fretboard. The top was painted a flat black and bound in white, and matched with a black scratch plate. 17in fretboard radius, 24 frets, brass nut, and a route for a single humbucker in the bridge, which Gareth chose to install himself.

We joked about this being Darth Vader’s guitar - it’s a mean looking drop C metal beast and it will serve it’s wielder well in his band Bridge Burner - check them out on Spotify.

Mark’s “Kotare”

Kotare (Kingfisher) is a tribute the Sacred Kingfisher bird native to New Zealand. Mark writes:

“Last year, during a very difficult time in my life, a kingfisher flew into our apartment window. For me it was a sign of home, good fortune, and love.”

He explains how he was living overseas had not been able to return back to New Zealand due to travel restrictions, however shortly after his visit from the Kingfisher, his luck changed and he was able to came back to his home country. This guitar serves as a monument to this event and as a talisman for Mark.

Read more about the guitar below the gallery.

The “Kotare” Build:

The guitar features an Ash body, Maple neck, and Cherry fingerboard. This was my first time using Cherry, and I had quite a bad reaction to the dust, which was very peculiar, but thankfully I could keep this in check by using a full face respirator.

Mark played classical guitars for a long time, and wanted to get a similar feeling out of an electric guitar. Working from neck measurements from his favourite guitar, I modified the neck geometry to give a wider string spacing. The guitar also has a 23 inch scale length.

A Kauri 69’ custom style scratchplate sit on top of a satin Lake Placid Blue finish, loaded with Paua topped knobs for the volume and tone controls. The guitar has one pickup in the 6 saddle bridge. Bright and articulate, this pickup gives clarity to the fingerstyle music that Mark plays.

There is a Matai inlay to create a fish hook (“Hei Matau”) design in the headstock face.

The fingerboard is full of Paua inlay - Teardrops for the fret markers, and a beautiful Kingfisher bird at the 12th fret. This was made by inlaying ebony, maple, and then Paua pieces that were laser cut by Ocean Shell Studios. This was by far the most elaborate inlay I have done, and I enjoyed the challenge and am super pleased with the result.

And finally, a custom case was made to protect this special and uniquely sized guitar.

A true return to tradition for this build. Featuring an Ash body, maple neck, aged vintage style hardware, and a genuine aged Nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Based on the legendary “blackguard” Tele’s, with a few deviations, namely belly and arm cuts, and a modern C neck profile.
