…Made in six days here in the Bailey workshop on our build your own guitar course…

This guitar was made in two visits on our split weekend course, which started with 3 days in May, and finished with another 3 days last week.

Graham chose some nice custom touches including a Figured Walnut (oops..my mistake) Tasmanian Blackwood cap for his ‘Drop top’ and a Hannes bridge with piezo. The neck is Birds Eye Maple with an ebony fretboard and is inlaid with mother of pearl position marker dots.

The Hannes piezo was a little tricky to fit but not as hard as working out exactly how many different sounds we could get out of it.  There is a five way slider with peizo/magnetic switching options and a piezo volume control. The magnetic (normal) pickups are controlled by a 5 way rotary selector, volume, and a tone control with a push pull switch to activate a coil cut. If anyone could let me know how many that is- please let me know – I ran out of time to count them!

Yet another beautiful guitar from the Bailey workshop – nice work Graham! More to come…

Doh…

We don’t just run courses here! We also make our own unique range of Bailey guitars – If we can do this in six days on a course, just imagine what we could build for you… or to put it another way – if you can imagine it, we can build it.
