‘Build your own Archtop’ is only available by special request…but it would be my pleasure to build one for you! Take a look at the range of Bailey Archtop Guitars
Dave took a full 30 days in the workshop spread over 18 months to complete this beauty, mainly due to the delicate binding and inlays, not forgetting the full nitro gloss. He brought it along to show us last week when he came on the custom course to build his second guitar, so I took the opportunity to take a few snaps.
I thought I would feature his first guitar while he is waiting for pictures of his latest work being sprayed. This is one of the finest guitars ever to be made on any Bailey course. Now you know why we call him Archtop Dave! [email_link]
