The Early Days
.....has pictures of the more 'standard' type of guitars that I
made
early in my career.
The Later Days
.....deals with more
'original' designs of my own, like the
'Electra'
above, Medusa, Magenta,
Razorback and 'Special Custom Models'.
Unfortunately, over the years very few
pictures of the guitars have been taken -
and there are No pictures at all of the vast majority, particularly those made between -
1985 and 1989.
If you have
been or are a current owner and have any history, information or
pictures
of any
" Royal " Guitars or Basses or " Chilcott " Guitars, it would
be 'Brilliant'
if you could e-mail some information and/or pictures if you have any...
It would be really very much appreciated to enable an archive to
be made of
these hand-built (*) British
guitars..... Thanks.

"*" - "hand-built"..... All the guitars are predominantly made using hand-tools, the necks are shaped with a draw-knife, rasps and sandpaper. No CAD programs or CNC machinery are used.
