Congratulations goes out to Damien Grant on the completion of his Les Paul tribute build. Damien took his time and enjoyed perfecting every little detail on this guitar. It looks gorgeous. It plays and sounds even better!
Well done Damien

Congratulations goes out to Christian McMahon on the completion of his S Type build. Christian is a part of our NDIS special needs group and this is his first project. This guitar has an amazing visual impact with it's blue burst over paisley finish and gold hardware. Just stunning!

Congratulations goes out to Josh Noble on the completion if his first ever custom build. This shredding machine was designed in house and superbly crafted by Josh who has a background in woodworking. Well done Josh 💥

Congratulations goes out to Maurice DiMuzio on the completion of his handmade OM style acoustic guitar. Maurice comes from a teaching background and will be providing his students the opportunity to create guitars in their high school years. It has been an absolute pleasure having him in the workshop. Great guitar, well done Maurice.

Congratulations goes out to John Harrison on the completion of his handmade 'Les Faux' tribute. This one is rather special with a flamed Maple Northridge Hardwoods top, gold hardware and some pickups that John wound with Colin Meagher . What a guitar! What a sound! Outstanding 💥

Congratulations goes out to Chris Halliday on the completion of his Serus inspired tribute. Chris is one hell of a guitar player and has created a tone machine to match his abilities. I really liked the finish on the body of this guitar, showing all of the texture of the grain just like the the original ones that inspired this build. Well done Chris

Congratulations goes out to Neil Meadows on the completion of his Iceman inspired build. Just check out the detail in this one! Neil has built a few guitars with us now and they keep on getting better. And that colour, just amazing!! Well done Neil

Congratulations goes out to John Meghaizel on the completion of his vintage style Jazz Bass. John created this beautiful instrument as a gift for one of his band mates. The band members commissioned John to make a bass guitar after seeing the amazing job that he’d done on two of his previous builds with us. This bass was lightly aged to give it a broken-in feel and look. It also has a set of handwound pickups that John made under the guidance of Colin Meagher . Great work John

Some Les Paul tribute project shots. This is one of the great projects that we offer. These photos show some amazing figure and colour. And these are just the very first 'sealer' paint coats! I do enjoy watching the expression on the students faces when they first see the initial paint coats and how it all comes alive.

Congratulations goes out to Tony Luci on the completion of his latest S type build. Tony is a special person who builds with us regularly. This guitar was gifted by Tony to a family member and was received with much appreciation. Well done Tony
