25.01.2022 Christmas Eve was a whole lot sweeter after listening to Jason Lee play one of my jumbo guitars. #vaughancustomguitar #vaughanguitar #acousticguitar #custommade #buylocal

24.01.2022 Lonsel Moses was in the shop today and was happy for me to record him playing on a Tasmanian Myrtle jumbo. Many thanks Lonsel.

24.01.2022 Just installed a sanding machine for putting the 25ft and 15ft radius on the back and top of acoustic guitars, had to machine up a Tasmanian Myrtle body to try it out. It works a treat

23.01.2022 Finished the full rebuild of a Gibson this morning, it took 22 hours to do but ended with a very happy customer

22.01.2022 Brent came down from Townsville to buy this Dreadnought Guitar yesterday, built from figured Queensland Maple with a Black Bean finger board and fitted with a Fishman pickup. Many thanks Brent.

21.01.2022 Had to take the back off a vintage Maton to fix loose bracing and reglue it back on. After a sand and a repolish its back to its old self. Good for another 30 years.

20.01.2022 Just finished this Tasmanian Myrtle rosette and fitted it into a bear claw Sitka spruce jumbo top for my first 12 string acoustic. A ten hour job.

20.01.2022 Kees Paynes from Brisbane playing one of my Orchestra models in my showroom

20.01.2022 Just finished the Tasmanian myrtle jumbo and a Red bean orchestra model to hang on my new display wall.

19.01.2022 Just finished a rosette for another Tasmanian Myrtle acoustic guitar. Quite a slow process but I am happy with the end result

19.01.2022 Just finished a Tasmanian Myrtle dreadnought, I went a bit crazy on the rosette and machine head. Sorry about being a lousy photographer

18.01.2022 A common problem fixed and back to normal with a re-polished top.

18.01.2022 Dad has been busy!!!

18.01.2022 One wall of the showroom is nearly full with six different models from mini to jumbo and three classical.

18.01.2022 Just finished another dreadnought, highly figured Qld Maple. It has exceptional tone.

17.01.2022 Just finished this Telecaster built from Rose Alder a north QLD hardwood with a Silver Ash neck and a Cooktown Ironwood finger board. Fitted with single coil EMG pickups. The scratch plate is one I made from 3 cross layers of QLD Walnut and the top layer English burl Poplar veneer.

17.01.2022 This big fella had his head knocked off in a plane ride, had to do major repairs and fit a new bridge. You cant carry instruments on planes in soft cases.

15.01.2022 I have finished the 12 string jumbo, just letting it hang and cure for a week before I sand it back and polish it. The neck is cross laminated and has two 6mm sq carbon fibre rods plus the dual action truss rod to keep it straight. I cant see the neck having a mind of its own ever.

15.01.2022 No more feeler gauges for setting the action on guitars, I love my new tool it is so accurate

15.01.2022 Had Chris and Brenden Schick in the shop today and really enjoyed their playing, thanks guys!
