Fretboard getting some oil on @mattriffmaster Chug V ready for frets to be installed. This build is progressing well, grain filler needs to be levelled and then it can be painted and lacquered 🤘

Trying these UK made @anomalyguitarhardware pickup surrounds on a couple of stock builds planned for completion early next year. They are great quality, definitely the Rolls Royce of moulded plastic pickup surrounds. 😀

Kratos bass for Klive wired and body assembled today, this is looking very classy. Klive spec’d a bog oak top on a roasted alder body with a maple pin stripe between them, dimarzio will power pickups with passive wiring and our Grainger high mass bridge with corresponding string ferrule block. Body matching control knobs are the icing on the cake 😊

Impromptu trip to a local wood supplier this afternoon to get some huge sapele boards, 12” x 4” and 15” x 4” both 3.66m long (until we cut them to get them in the van 😁) the 12” wide will be book matched for Hades bodies and the 15” could be one piece bodies for any of our other models or even more Hades 🤘...looks like we’ll be back here pretty soon for some Ash and Plain maple....pretty sure buying wood is an addiction 😆

Another awesome job by our US dealer this Hades will be winging its was out to the US this week to its new home. This is the second Grainger Guitar for this customer having bought the flamed sapele topped Apollo we made for Pyramid a couple of months ago. Are you US based but unsure about importing a custom guitar?....get in contact with Corey Owens at Pyramid Guitars, he’ll look after you 😊

Shorter morning on the on the guitars today due to gig commitments but we still made good progress, the Tamo ash Hades for @kimballhardwoods has its frets levelled, crowned and polished and lacquer sanded flat ready for final polishing, the Attis for Mark has had the wiring finished and is strung up ready for setup, the Stock Kratos bass has had the lacquer sanded ready for polishing and the stock Apollo (that purple burst burl top one 😁) has had its grain filler sanded ready for lacquer ....not too shabby for a short morning 🙂

Here’s the neck we posted on Friday with its frets fitted, levelled, crowned and polished....the colouring of the Evo-Gold frets works fantastically with the quilted maple .....gotta admit this is one stunning neck 😊

Busy weekend again at GG HQ, having dedicated space is certainly allowing us to progress better in the available time. So.....the “chug” V for @mattriffmaster had its final sanding, grain filling, sealing and sprayed grain filler work completed, the purple burst Apollo had its filler coat sanded and its last grain filler coat sprayed, green Kratos had its filler coat sanded flat and lacquer sprayed, Hades for @kimballhardwoods had its last lacquer coat sprayed. Kratos bass for Klive had more coats of oil along with the Attis build for Mark, the laminated neck with quilted maple fret board that we posted on Friday had its frets installed and full fretwork completed.....look out for the video on that in the next couple of days (it looks stunning!). The Attis for Mark also got wired and built..........all in all awesome progress 👍

Quick mock up of this stock Kratos 4 string bass before the body gets lacquered, the Aguilar HJ pups and OBP1 pre-amp will bring the voice....who wants to make it sing 😁

Stock Apollo neck reaching the oiling stage, this laminated Wenge, flamed maple and Purple Heart neck is a real stunner and the quilted maple fret board is jaw dropping....this will get its Evo-gold frets fitted tomorrow 😍

Have some awesome resin knobs and tuner buttons coming in from @woodlandcast for the Hades7 build for Dave Bates....these have been colour matched to the resin top and should give an awesome detail to the finish of the build 😁

Great progress on this stock build Tyhpon headless over the last couple of days...body, neck and fretboard all manufactured. Here’s a taste of how the body will look, we have a quilted chocolate maple book matched top on a swamp ash body. This will be left natural and finished in high gloss...to let the natural beauty of the wood speak for its self 😊

Today’s progress from the spray bay, three builds entered the grain filling stage, one stock build Apollo 6, one stock build Kratos bass and the Hades build for @davebatesguitars from @edgeofparadise. This starts to show how the finish will look after lacquer is applied and we can’t help but get excited seeing the colour and grain come to life 😀

😳😳😳 quick mock up on the first Hades 7 string build for @davebatesguitars from @edgeofparadise . This already looks mind blowing and it’s only in a rough sanded state, the body is to be stained black and will have a high gloss finish, @bareknucklepickupsofficial Ragnoraks and Coherent Sound In Light Sophia Trem sit beautifully in the design and colouring of this build, huge credit to Max at @tobiascaspar for the stunning top. To say we’re excited about this build is an understatement! 😁
