custom made guitar

[leerummey]

hi all havent been on for a while but i thought id come on to let you know that im having a guitar custom made for me by a guy called colin scott
i was asking him recently how much it would cost and he said anything from £999 upwards dependant on the hardware installed etc so i said ok i want you to build me a guitar but it turns out he is already in the process of making me one !!!
its already been cut from the wood (mahogany)
my mum and step father have paid for it for my 40th birthday next year
the really sad thing is my step father passed away a couple of weeks ago and wont get to see it
god bless xxxx
the wood for it came from some massive door architraves at chelsea football club which colin removed !!!
my guitar teacher has the exact one im getting (not sure what colour im getting though)
it will probably take 3 -5 months to make as its his hobby rather than job and waiting for glue to dry etc etc
this is the guitar im getting

and yes that is my teacher

Sounds like a fun rock'n'roll guitar right there.

Condolences about the passing of your step father

It looks very cool. I think everybody should have at least one custom made guitar in their lifetime. Even if only to pass on to a grandchild.

Been playing 20 years + and just got my first USA made custom. and yes it is unlike anything else still grring at Pro Guitar Shop tho. After sales service they do not have. Which is stupid cos their pre-sales is one of the best I've seen.
