BM, The Darkness and the Bich

One the the rarest of days last Monday.....a day off!! I spent it with my fabulous wife at Brian May's house photographing his Guyton Mk2 Archtop for the website. (so not really a day off at all) Ably assisted by the 'irrepressible' Pete Malandrone, we set the background and lighting up in BM's equipment store. Unfortunately, I didn't remember to take any behind the scenes shots, but click on the picture (right) to see the results.

Frankie Poullain, bass player to The Darkness received his famed Gibson Thunderbird back this week. It was brought to us a little while ago with a badly broken headstock. With a little TLC, epoxy resin and cellulose lacquer, it's back to new and into active service once again.

One of my favourite guitars from the 80's came into the workshop last Friday, a fine example of B.C.Rich's Bich. This isn't one of the new Korean/Chinese (or wherever they're made) guitars. It's a US made model and it's a cracker! On it's arrival, it was covered in coat of metallic pink with black parts. When it leaves it will be Ferrari Rosso Corsa with cream Dimarzios. My very first attempt at making a guitar, aged 14, was based on this model after seeing Paul Chapman from UFO brandishing one. Unfortunately, it was a complete disaster!

Meet William - Guyton guitars new arrival. Great attention to detail, combined with a good work ethic. Bit of a handy guitarist too.........it would be very easy to hate him if he wasn't such nice chap.

What a year this has been so far? - Finally, amongst all the work, the workshop relocation and various other things, the website is finally here. The revised site contains more info on ordering and buying Guyton guitars and merchandising. There are still a few 'works in progress', namely the Guitar store and Guitar gallery. The store will soon be updated with limited edition framed prints and more clothing designs. At the moment it is Paypal only, but hopefully I will soon have credit card facilities too. The gallery will be updated as soon as instrument becomes available for photography, before or after delivery. Keep an eye on this blog page, or the Facebook page for any updates.
