Thanks guys, yeah the pics don't do it justice, sometimes it looks red, sometimes, brown and sometimes almost black depending on the lighting.

Boing! That's lovely. Check that wood on the neck. Is it just a very nice bit of maple? I'm a fan of the minimalist approach here, just what you need. I'm going to check this guy out and hope he doesn't charge the same as a small car.

Andy Guyton is a rare find.. a gem of a person both personally and professionally. We've spent many days together on his last 2 visits to the states and we just agree on EVERYTHING guitar. .. and it shows in the product. Plus our wives get along great ... its like a US vs. UK fcking drinking contest when were together.  No Floyd,, I only use it on like 3 cover songs anyways.. for my own original stuff I NEVER use it,, so whats the point really? I'm kinda over the bar. Specs are: Gigantic baseball bat neck. Andy says its the biggest hes EVER built. 1 piece maple w/ stainless steel frets and no dot markers. 1 piece mahogany body. Yes, I actually can tell the difference in sound between a 1 piece and everyone else who uses at least 2 piece bodies. You would not believe how hard it is to find someone who will even make a guitar out of one piece of wood!? super thin nitro-cellulose finish Titanium "sweat proof" bridge, sperzel locking machines and a JB/'59 with the out of phase, 5-way switch. From SRV to Shred with one flick. simple and perfect for me. |

Andy does some great work and I really liked the guitars he made for Mark Chapman of 'A', sweet Halen-esque looking axes. I think he also build guitar for Brian May, so the man has some powerfully high standards. Is Andy still a QR owner? |

To my knowledge Andy is the only guy building guitars for Brian May right now and has been for quite a few years. Yeah he makes some crazy awesome stuff.. He is still a Quick Rod owner and loving his Splawn.

Down and Dirty. With all Hot-Rods aside. I love this old Strat. The Humbucker is a G&L AW4370B Alnico Humbucker. Though I prefer Gibson Humbuckers, I didn't have the heart to put a Gibson pick up in my dear old Fender friend. I was learning Yngwie on this Strat in 1984 and Eddie before that.  |
