- Number 303
Toby made his own custom version of the Bailey Bandsman and because he chose a full gloss finish he had to stay an extra day while Billy sprayed and polished it for him, so he was inevitably the last to finish.
Toby is the first to have a full gloss spray and build his guitar in just one visit…This was made possible with our new UV laquer system, it simply is not feasable with tradition cellulose due to time.
He upgraded most of the parts, including adding a very highly figured piece of quilted maple for the cap, a tunamatic bridge with stop tailpiece, Bareknuckle pickups and took the option of 24 frets instead of the usual 22.
This is a great example of what is now achievable on the build your own first guitar course.
