An exciting batch of swamp ash ahead. There’s just something about swamp, regardless of the extra work grain filling etc, it’s worth it!

Every tiny detail matters to me, I’m obsessive about ensuring ageing tells a story and isn’t just bashed about. It’s important to me these look authentic!
Get in touch if you’re looking to have a body or full guitar built, I’m more than happy to discuss vintage spec in detail.
