Brazilian Rosewood set donated to the project by “Maro” ,JJ’s 1970’s bass player, who imports this beautiful tonewood.

The July 2005 guitar of the month made custom for Cale is played and displayed in JJ Cale’s and Eric Clapton’s newest and collabative album.
The “tape” on the bridge is for securing the bridge while re-stringing it. John Cale apologised with this logical explanation.

We are doing a much needed re-model of the shop. We needed more machinery and building space, and storage space for this exquisite wood.
Please bear with us for delayed repairs from the service center, but almost on-time delivery of new Moonstones.



More pix of the interior and finished outside to come soon!
Thanks,
