So much has happened in the last few weeks, as well as binding, veneering and sanding Red Specials, we have had a host of repair work with some really interesting people through the workshop.
Here's a video of Mr. Bean and his mate Roy, both customers of Guyton guitars. I had just fitted an excellent L.R.Baggs under saddle pickup to the Gibson acoustic.

We also had a Dulcimer in the workshop for the first time. We had to basically lower the action so the owner was a little more comfortable whilst fretting with his fingers rather than striking it. It's a lovely thing that really inspires you to create. I may have to make one one day. ;-)
Mark Chapman from 'A' recently swung by to pick up his latest Guyton guitar. This guitar is Mark's simplest and possibly best Guyton guitar to date. It has a plain Canadian maple neck fretted with Jumbo stainless steel frets and an Idigbo body finished in Nitrocellulose lacquer and fitted with Bare Knuckle Irish Tour single coil pickups. Unlike his previous Guyton guitars, Mark's latest has a tone control that works on the neck pickup only. Below are a couple of pictures of the guitar having it's nut 'seen to' and Mark play testing the finished article. Also a short video clip.

My good friend, and world class guitar player Ian Jacobs, had some good news last week. He's successfully auditioned as lead guitarist in the band 'The Death Valley screamers'. Check out their Youtube videos featuring the Orange County chopper boys. Apparently, they are very big in the Ukraine! Anyway, Ian brought in his Guyton guitar for a fret dress and a change of pickup (neck P90 to Gemini mini humbucker) ready for rehearsals this week. Best of luck Jakey boy!!
