Bailey Guitars make a unique range of high quality instruments, each one individually hand crafted in the rolling hills of Ayrshire, using only wind and solar energy.
We also run several different guitar making courses, enabling anybody to build their own with no previous experience necessary – This video shows an overview of our course ‘Build Your Own First Guitar‘ which takes place here at the Bailey workshop.
Morgan became our 300th electric guitar builder and was joined by Graeme (Right Hand), Graham (Left Hand), and Toby, who also built their first guitars with us.
Toby chose to have a full gloss finish so had to stay an extra day. While Billy sprayed Toby’s guitar the others all finished setting theirs up – Toby stayed on for his extra day to assemble and set up his guitar.
When Toby had finished he sat down and played this song which I was lucky enough to catch on video. The sound quality is not too great as it was recorded on a camcorder mike but that doesn’t take anything away from a great song performance. The mood of the song seems to suit the video perfectly – hope you enjoy it!
Thanks to everyone involved in making the May 2012 course a success.
