25.01.2022 The fluffy guitar throne is back, with the latest lefty creation (just about finished) atop.

25.01.2022 Love making this lacquer checking happen on relics!

25.01.2022 The latest... This one features an old growth Douglas Fir body, roasted maple neck, Gotoh tuners, Wilkinson bridge and my all time favourite @buschpickups Viper humbucker! Available right now for $1700 including free shipping!

24.01.2022 Ok, so I'm moving house in a few weeks, and I'd prefer to not have to haul all the guitars from one place to another, so... As you've no doubt already figured, I'm offering some discounts! 10% off on the newer builds (top left, middle bottom and bottom right), and 20% off all the others! (Prices on original posts and website).

24.01.2022 Never got around to posting a pic of the back of the goldtop Ostel I finished a few months back! I love little details like this matching back plate on this beautiful natural New Guinea Rosewood back.

23.01.2022 Haven't given this one much air time of late. I usually call this model the Fathawk, but when I build this one, I dubbed it the "Surfhawk"! Available for $1250. See website for more details!

23.01.2022 The back of this Ostel deluxe is looking beautiful! It's roasted spruce, with a nice tung oil finish. Posts will be few and far between over the next few weeks while moving house!

22.01.2022 So with VIC in full lockdown for at least the next 4 or so weeks, I figured it would be as good a time as any to offer free delivery Australia wide. Demos on their way!

21.01.2022 Just about finished this black on black on black offset for Kink Guitar Pedals

21.01.2022 Working on a hardtail relic "S" body for a customer. If you're chasing a body or neck for a project, finished or unfinished, hit me up!

21.01.2022 Yet another fathawk just about finished. This one features a pair of @mcnellypickups Sparkletrons, roasted maple neck, a Surian Cedar body and gold hardware!

21.01.2022 A sea(foam) of green! This custom build started around 3 months ago, with my first interstate customer. The colour scheme with seafoam green, gold hardware and a dark roasted maple neck was something I wasn't sure was gonna work initially, but once it started to come together I knew it was gonna look rad!... It also sounds incredible thanks to a set of @mcnellypickups Sparkletrons.

21.01.2022 Double neck dejavu... Similar to the last one I did last time but a Jazz style bass half and a SSS strat layout. #vander #vanderguitars #doubleneckguitar #offset #offsetguitars #strat #stratocaster #jazzbass #jbass #customguitars #handcrafted #handmadeguitar #handmade #madeinmelbourne #madeinaustralia

20.01.2022 The double is done! This thing has been in the works for a little bit, but it's finally strung up and ready to go. *Pardon the "fancy" yellow bath towel!

19.01.2022 Haven't tried to finish a neck with tinted lacquer before, but pretty happy with first attempt!

19.01.2022 First attempt at a burst... Pretty happy with it!

19.01.2022 Some lefty love! *Excuse me bridge pickup route, I had a change of heart with pickup choice!

18.01.2022 Lefty is all wired up ready for the neck and setup!

17.01.2022 It's a busy workshop at the moment!

17.01.2022 New Fathawk in the works...

16.01.2022 And let this be a lesson to me to be more careful with power tools. Was drilling a pedal enclosure with a step drill bit wearing a glove on my left hand to hold the enclosure and the glove got caught and (with my hand in it) twisted around the drill bit until it shredded the glove (see the second pic).

15.01.2022 Another snap of the semi hollow goldtop single cut!

13.01.2022 And the Chels-caster is complete! Chelsea Lorraine wants it to be known as the Chelsea Lorraine signature, but we're still negotiating a licencing agreement Will have more pics with less reflections tomorrow!

11.01.2022 Custom headstock and truss rod cover for @kinkguitarpedals

11.01.2022 Neck for an upcoming build. Didn't think rosewood was really my thing (having never built with it), but really pleasently surprised with it. Works easier than expected and obviously looks great under some oil!

11.01.2022 Check out @jacobcurromusic killing it on this weathered Ostel he picked up recently. Great playing and tones! Reposted from @jacobcurromusic New @aaronintervals is killer! Loving that melody bro. @vanderguitars Weathered Ostel and Valvetone Juno 25 bringing that juicy tone!

10.01.2022 Let's play what's wrong with this picture...

10.01.2022 Pretty stoked the way the paint job on the Chels-caster (@chelsealorraine.music ) is turning out! Should be all done in a fortnight or so! (A few weeks late for her birthday, but...

10.01.2022 Non reverse thurs-day... Ok not the best effort. This one is currently 10% off on Reverb (link in bio).

10.01.2022 This goldtop Ostel is in stock at ready to rip some heads off! (In a polite, and tasteful manner of course) It features a roasted maple neck, NG Rosewood body, Gotoh tuners, a Wilkinson bridge and an incredible set of @mcnellypickups $1750incl shipping inside Australia... Demo to come...

09.01.2022 Light relic Mary Kaye style Ostel (which in this configuration I've called an Estel). It features a roasted spruce body, a fat vintage tint maple neck, Gotoh tuners and bridge and @bareknucklepickupsofficial Bootcamp Old Guard pickups. $1700 incl shipping Australia wide... (Volume knob included )

09.01.2022 #014 finally got it's neck transplant! I'll be relisting this on the website in the next few days!

09.01.2022 Demo time! This Double cut Jr is available now for $1450 with free delivery I decided to go with this format of demo, as meticulously going through every sound the guitar offers just isn't my thing!... I'll do a few videos with each guitar so some different sounds get covered! Tones courtesy of HX Stomp with a Marshall amp model.

08.01.2022 Freshly waxed neck! (Surrounded by mess!) #vander #vanderguitars #roastedmaple #bakedmaple #mapleneck #maple #guitarbuilding #custom #handcrafted #handmadeguitar #handmade #madeinmelbourne #madeinaustralia

08.01.2022 Got some demos on the way. I didn't realise I pull that face like, all the time!

08.01.2022 New build in the spray booth! Best name for the colour I've heard so far is "smokey jade metallic"... Mmmmmmmmm This very attractive number is will be shipped off to Perth in a few weeks!

08.01.2022 2 necks are better than 1... This double is just about done!

07.01.2022 Turns out a yellow stain really made the grain pop on this heavily figured Tasmanian Blackwood top!

05.01.2022 Got some unexpected figure/flame in this maple neck!

05.01.2022 Custom headstock for a new build as per customer's request! #vander #vanderguitars #headstock #mapleneck #maple #customheadstock #handcrafted #handmadeguitar #handmade #customguitars #madeinmelbourne #madeinaustralia

04.01.2022 I Love love love roasted maple! These necks feel so damn smooth and silky! The guitar isn't too bad either!

04.01.2022 Almost finished this light relic semi hollow Alpha. What do we reckon, chrome or black covers on the P90's?

03.01.2022 Reliced hardware for an upcoming custom build.

03.01.2022 Thoughts... Vintage tint maple or roasted maple? It's not the final colour, it will be slightly more cream/ivory.

03.01.2022 This roasted spruce is looking amazing! Great light weight, tap tone (if you believe in that sort of thing ) and workability.

03.01.2022 Super proud of this build! I think it's new owner @chelsealorraine.music is pretty happy with it too! Special shout out to @buschpickups who makes the single best sounding PAF's I have ever played!

03.01.2022 This DoubleCut left the nest on Tuesday! It will be missed!

03.01.2022 New "S" build in the works. Relic seafoam green finish, Douglas fir body, roasted maple neck, HSS Brierley pickups and Gotoh hardware. It's gonna rip!

02.01.2022 Those reflections! Almost finished this offset build for Kink Guitar Pedals

01.01.2022 The fluffy guitar throne is back! This time with the a light relic Alpha fitted out with a set of P90's!
