Alchemy Instruments

These two sun dogs (Ziggy and Hen Wen) are meant to be my apprentices, but that last bit of summer sun is just too precious (especially when you're a little under the weather like Zig is!)

A beautiful custom Tele that had a full wenge neck. Really had to be seen to be believed how beautiful the grain is from top to bottom!

 

The ol' electric drill ran out of battery hallway through piloting some tuner holes - sometimes the even older ways get you out of a pickle just fine.

 

Every now and then you get something really special come through your workshop. This bass was hand crafted and hand wired in 1988 in Kolkata. I was grateful for the owner for giving me the full history of the instrument, because sometimes we really take for granted just how lucky we are with our access to musical instruments. Truly an honour to have been part of it's refurb.
