ahoy over there !
i have been mentioned on AGGH ( still my favourite forum acronym ever ) a couple of times, i still get hits to my website from there.
speaking of aussies - i'm up to my elbows in vintage matons here for repairs at the moment ... some beautiful old fyrbyrds ...



time to update my templates, if i can find the time this year i'll make some tributes - ( with TV Joneses, Bigbsy B5s )

fyrbomb ?
byrd-dog ?

Oh wooooooooow. Those are beautiful. It's like if a Burns lived at the beach for a buncha years and just smoothed out over time.

[Chankgeez]

Yep, those're nice. That white one is particularly striking.

Howdy Harvester! Just though I'd chime in to say I dig your work! It is nice to see someone else who marches to their own drummer!

[harvester]

thank you mr nelson !
likewise !

i call this mutual appreciation society to order !
your work is so slick and we seem to have a lot of inspirations in common.

mostly i'm just trying to fight off boredom ( for myself and the guitar obsessing public )
when i came in from the workshop to cook dinner and saw this message i had just been trying to wrap aluminium binding around a guitar only to find that i don't have enough limbs ...

Oh my effing lord. Makes me want to move to Australia, just so I could commission a bass.

[nightterrors]

man! your stuff is incredible!
have you built any electric basses/ have any intentions to if you haven't?

[harvester]

hey thanks,

i've made a few.
10 years ago i made this ^ copy of an ampeg bass for myself. still play it.
i'm a bass player usually so i strongly identify with the 4 string !



one of the next aluminium neck beasts will be a 32" scale bass ...

very keen to make one of these also in the next batch.

one of the few wandre basses that has a usable scale ( most were piccolo guitar-scale basses )
i guess the body is the same as this gold 'tigre' guitar that i'm making.
