These days I would class it as a good piece of woodwork, but a fairly average guitar. Back in those pre-internet days it was impossible for a 16 year old school boy to glean the necessary knowledge. An article in a woodworking magazine, a stack of guitar brochures and hours spent examining the hardware in "Curly Music" was all I had to go on. That and the advice and guidance of my woodwork teacher, John Pie. Whatever became of him I wonder. This guitar was the mainstay of my early learning. Because of the through neck design I was able to "play" it when it was only half built, long before the body had been fabricated or any electrics installed. It is now pretty much retired, due to my playing progressing beyond what this guitar could do. I do however hope to one day pass it down the family and hope that it turns up on antiques road show in 2106. For more information about this guitar follow the links below..

This
is the most important guitar in my collection. It was hand made at the end of
the 1970's by myself from the bare wood, without recourse to pre fabricated
necks and bodies. It features a through neck, Schaller tuners and Di-Marzio dual
sound pickups.
