The Bailey Guitar Workshop
It’s been a colourful dry autum here at the Bailey workshop, and life has slowed us down a little these last few months, but as always there has been some new arrivals

Never Mind Them…
Although I haven’t had too much time spare I too have been building guitars, working mainly on Preston’s new Heathergems Signature Acoustic
..and just started on a new commission from Robert G for a Custom acoustic, designed here with me, in one of our one-to-one sessions … it’s going to be a classic rosewood, spruce , ebony combo with some beautiful touches including some inlay work…more blogs to come
Bart from Belgium ordered a Bailey Bandsman this month, but asked for a pick up change – P90’s instead of humbuckers – and chose to upgrade to a set of Bareknuckle Nantuckets. I’ll be starting on that special model as soon as the handmade Bk’s arrive.
There’s also a couple of spectacular Ukes in the pipeline…so that’s my Custom build list full for this year… but we still have stock in the shop and some in progress (electrics & acoustics- ask for more details if you are interested)
Considering a Custom Guitar or special order ?
It costs nothing to get in touch and find out more – we are already taking orders for 2017 ‘cos you can’t rush a good thing …
If you want a detailed quote or aren’t sure where to start, our detailed design sessions can be done face to face here, over the internet OR even at home yourself costs from £79 and if you go ahead and commission the intrument, we include the design fee in your payments. It’s becoming a popular experience in itself.
Surprise…Surprise… !
Out there are some very lucky, totally unsuspecting people, who over the coming months will be presented with the gift of a lifetime – design sessions, BYO courses and the ultimate …a custom Bailey. However deep the pockets, we do try hard to make a gift a special thing (and we are REALLY good at keeping secrets!)
