Just one week left to go before the Wiltshire Guitar Show in Swindon!
Here's some bits from the Brighton show, which was a blast!
Grab your ticket to the show early for a cheeky discount and make sure to stop by and try out the Lir for yourself.

This is probably one of my favourite superpowers in my bench, and also one of my favourite shorts that I've made!
They make it so easy and convenient to hold work on the bench and let me do my job!

Every detail on the Lir has been thought about, and the bridge is no exception 💡

It combines a hardwood base with stainless steel saddles for the perfect combination of precision, resonance transfer, and warmth. And the best part is - the bridge wood matches the fretboard to round off the look of your guitar 😍

📢 Attention to any builders here - these bridges are also for sale on my website (link below), available for multiscale and single-scale guitars.

Other than looking great, what makes the headstock on the Lir special? 🔍

The micro-angle helps with consistent downward pressure and an even response along the strings. It also helps the guitar stay in tune, and who doesn't like that?

Head over to my YouTube channel (linked in my bio) to check out my latest video - making a resaw guide for the bandsaw!
This little jig is a total game changer when it comes to accuracy and ease when resawing wood.

The neck carve on the Lir is something we get a lot of compliments for 🥰

How the neck is carved is not the first visual thing you will notice on a guitar, but it makes a huge difference to playing comfort. We like to think we've nailed it on our guitars, and players seem to agree! 🎸

If you would like to try out what this neck carve feels like, visit our stand at the next guitar show or pop us a message! 📨

Making good use of my sharpening station, I do love having sharp tools to use on my guitars 😎

Head over to YouTube if you haven't done so yet and watch me build the station! 👇

This is a game changer! I finally got around to designing and making a resaw guide to keep consistent pressure while resawing at the bandsaw.
To test it out, I sawed up 6 full back and side sets of black limba. What could they be for, I wonder!
