Introducing ‘The Alleyway’ – Custom Explorer Style
Introducing ‘The Alleyway’, a Gibson Explorer style guitar handcrafted by my own fair hands. In the US they have Bloc Parties, here in Manchester we throw open the gates and meet up in the alleyways to share stories, drink and be merry.

Esquire Style Guitar – ‘Dirty Northern Town’
Named after a comment I overheard whilst climbing off the train at Manchester Piccadilly station, as a group of guys climbed on, eager to get back home south.
A tele take on the Les Paul Junior. Whilst waiting for a batch of parts to arrive so I could wind the single P90 needed, the guitar was wired up with an old Gibson P90 I had lying around. Eager to hear a P90 in the bridge position the old Gibson pickup was only ever meant to be temporary measure, especially as this was a neck pickup, the pole spacing too narrow for the wider telecaster bridge.

When the coil wire snaps….
This is what happens when you’re winding a vintage pickup and the 40yr old spool of vintage 42AWG decides to act like a cranky old man, losing its temper and snapping.
