25.01.2022 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 )

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).

23.01.2022 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!

20.01.2022 Love making this lacquer checking happen on relics!

18.01.2022 Refret on a 70's Ibanez SG I've been working on refurbishing. It's a really rewarding process when all goes smoothly (not always the case! ).

17.01.2022 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...

17.01.2022 It's a busy workshop at the moment!

13.01.2022 Another demo thanks to Jordan Lalchand This Double Cut features a New Guinea Rosewood body and neck, Tasmanian Blackwood fretboard, Gotoh Tuners, Intonatable wraparound bridge, McNelly Pickups, and an open grain TV Yellow finish. Available now with free shipping (in Australia) for $1600

11.01.2022 Keats showing off this shell pink Ostel and it's secret weapon... It has an inbuilt preamp/boost circuit built in! When engaged it offers a warm, slightly gritty boost that will push your/favourite drive right into lead territory. Perfect solution for a jam night when you can only bring a guitar or those guys that love to just plug straight into their amp! It lasts AGES on a single 9v battery and is a most that can be performed on most guitars!

11.01.2022 Reliced hardware for an upcoming custom build.

11.01.2022 Yet another fathawk just about finished. This one features a pair of @mcnellypickups Sparkletrons, roasted maple neck, a Surian Cedar body and gold hardware!

11.01.2022 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!

10.01.2022 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!

09.01.2022 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.

09.01.2022 It's been a long, long time between posts! In November last year @chelsealorraine.music and I moved to Seaford, about 100m from the beach. It's been amazing, but along with Christmas, it's put a bit of a dent in productivity over the last few months. Anyway, I've still had some work on the go including 2 custom Bass's, lots of services and repairs, as well as building some pedals!... More regular posts to resume... Now

08.01.2022 Thoughts... Vintage tint maple or roasted maple? It's not the final colour, it will be slightly more cream/ivory.

08.01.2022 Got another monstrosity on the way! Making some subtle changes/improvements on previous double's I've done, starting with a 1pc pickguard and a lighter weight body! Let's see where this goes...

08.01.2022 24 frets P-Beast! As a guitarist, I would say a bassist has no place right up that high... But who am I to judge! This one features a roasted spruce body, roasted maple neck, ebony fretboard, custom wound pickup, Gotoh and Fender hardware, and once again... 24 frets!

06.01.2022 First time playing outside of home on Sunday morning at Hillsong Church Melbourne Thought I'd take the opportunity to take this one (built primarily for myself ). Couldn't have been happier! The tones from the Busch humbuckers is so clear and crisp, but still really fat. The neck is my favourite profile, fat but not too fat . The trem was used pretty generously, but still held tune perfectly. ... Really really happy with this guitar!

05.01.2022 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!

04.01.2022 Roasted Ash 5 string P bass! That grain

04.01.2022 Sometimes customers have strange ideas... This Japanese Squier belongs to a mate who decided who decided what it really needed was a single neck humbucker and flat wound strings! When he first told me, I thought he'd lost his mind, but honestly, this guitar sounds and feels amazing (it helps that the neck is probably the best Strat neck I've ever played!). Not at all what I expected!... (It was in the workshop to get the trem blocked off)

04.01.2022 Turns out a yellow stain really made the grain pop on this heavily figured Tasmanian Blackwood top!

03.01.2022 Doing some routing to install these very fancy Nordstrand Audio pickups into this Bacchus 5 string J bass

02.01.2022 Got some unexpected figure/flame in this maple neck!

02.01.2022 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!

02.01.2022 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!
