Instagram post 2218415516490699464_2656585894 Spent a couple of hours with Tim & Terry from @leo_and_teds Electric Guitars this afternoon picking woods for their builds.....they’ve certainly got some special builds and great specs coming up 😍 #xguitars #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club
Instagram post 2215558661237799164_2656585894 As we sold our stock Hades back in November we felt we couldn’t do The @theguitarshowuk in February without one....we got this body machined on Saturday along with the Hades Bass posted over the weekend. This is some stunning quilted maple, we plan to go with our inferno burst which will really make this top pop! #xguitars #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club

Can’t wait to get this one finished! Jaw dropping stabilized top from Max at @tobiascaspar, sapele body, Birdseye maple neck and ebony fret board, Full of PJ goodness 😍 #xguitars #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club

Instagram post 2211097812448089208_2656585894 Here’s the first Hades7 completed in December, we’ve posted a lot about this guitar in recent weeks but felt it was apt to finish the look back over 2019 with this one. We love how this one finished up but it certainly challenged us with a few things here and there! We’re excited to see this one out and about at gigs with @davebatesguitars of @edgeofparadise in 2020, in particular with their US tour towards the end of next year! We want to wish all our followers a very Happy New Year! We’ve got plenty to be looking forward to including @theguitarshowuk in Feb 2020 in Birmingham (UK), our new links with @leo_and_teds Electric Guitars as well as our continued work with the awesome @pyramidguitarsco In the US 😊. #xguitars #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club
Instagram post 2210407068737646159_2656585894 Our first headless model was born this year, back in January Typhon number 1 was made in time for @theguitarshowuk 2018. This build featured a black limba body, buckeye burl top and 13 piece laminated neck. This found its new home quite local to our workshop in the summer #xguitars #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club
Instagram post 2209670110683930535_2656585894 This Hades was a commisioned build through our US distributor @pyramidguitarsco Stunning combination of ribbon sapele and flamed maple with a copper burst stain to the top. The flamed maple binding and inlay blocks are all one piece of maple and quite fidley to do 😁. This build left us back in September #xguitars #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club
Instagram post 2208455961018689044_2656585894 Looking at back at some of the builds from this year, this stunning Apollo shipped out to our US dealer @pyramidguitarsco back in May and quickly found a home. This flamed sapele top was stunning and it’s combination with ash and flamed maple is simply elegant 😍 #xguitars #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club

Instagram post 2205437615532761972_2656585894 We’re now finished for the Christmas break! Mainly pushed through prep jobs today getting tops glued for new Hades and Hades bass 😳 builds planned for @theguitarshowuk in February. The Chug V for Matt the Riff master went into paint today for its first primer coats and a boat load of sanding was completed on various body blanks and tops. Wishing all our customers and followers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Also a massive shout out to Corey Owens from our US dealer @pyramidguitarsco on doing an excellent job on our behalf in the US and Canada 😁 #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club #xguitars

Instagram post 2200337628356559663_2656585894 Where it all begins!......spent some time Saturday prepping for current orders, splitting the large sapele boards recently bought from a local supplier, managed to get six blocks big enough for book matched Hades bodies and twelve book matched standard sized bodies that will cover all our other body shapes. Also managed to plane and joint two body sets for the new Leo & Teds order 😁 #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club
Instagram post 2198812750826546377_2656585894 Gav working his magic on this custom shaped build for David.

Instagram post 2197446316150218576_2656585894 Had the pleasure of meeting the guys from @edgeofparadise last night at the London show of their European tour. This was particularly special as we were able to hand the custom Hades 7 over to lead guitarist @davebatesguitars in person, we’ve been working on this guitar for the last 12 months so this was a very fitting way to complete this guitar build. The performance from EOP was outstanding - well worth catching them live if you can. The other bands on the bill didn’t disappoint either, openers @templeballsrocks and headliners @sonataarcticaofficial both delivered fantastic performances, both bands we’ve not heard of before but we’ll certainly be adding them both to the play list in the workshop 🤘 #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club

Instagram post 2194452587755739791_2656585894 Great to see Mark yesterday as he collected his new Attis, this guitar started off as a stock build before Mark spotted it a few months back during a visit to the workshop and fell in love, specs were tweaked to suit his tastes and it was finished to suit his desired time scale. This is the 5th one of our guitars Mark has and there’s already talk of number 6! 😳. Thanks again for your continued support Mark 😊. #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club #xguitars
Instagram post 2193791479906656562_2656585894 The very first Hades7 build is almost complete, just needing its setup and some finishing off with wiring and she’ll be good to go. Really looking forward to getting this into the hands of @davebatesguitars from @edgeofparadise. The @bareknucklepickupsofficial Ragnorok pickups are beasts and sound massive!

Instagram post 2192351951740464869_2656585894 Kratos bass neck for Klive fully fretted and polished, the choice of plain maple against the roasted flame maple and Purple Heart/ebony inlays looks very classy. Klive has also been kind enough to allow us to take his build to @theguitarshowuk in February 2020 for display 😃 #ukguitarbuilders #guitarbuildingphotos #customguitarbuild #ukguitar #guitarmaker #guitarmakers #guitarbody #woodworking #bassguitar #custombass #woodwork #ukguitars #carvetop #inlay #fretboard #guitarinlay #guitarneck #customstrat #woodworking #tonewide @tonewide #custom_guitars @custom_guitars #electricguitar #electricguitars #guitarspotter #guitarwood #guitarbuilding #explorerguitar #stringjoy #bestluthiers #guitar_lovers_club
