Dave Simpson

Some of you know Dave already, for those who don’t he is an all around lovely chap and fantastic guitar player. YouTube is his stomping ground, he does regular uploads with varying material. I remember watching him years ago playing an old Marshall nice and loud in the shop he used to work in. I’ve followed him since, always enjoyed his content and down to earth approach to YouTube. Needless to say I was delighted when I got speaking to him properly a while back and more so last year.

He was doing an overhaul on a fender Strat and after throwing a few ideas around I was sent the black polyurethane body to get to work on.

The video says pretty much covers everything, have a nosy and see what you think. Seeing this has more than made my day

I’ll need to have a catch up. I remember whatever part it was where he said he was sending it off for refinishing.

I'm impressed by your work & I really love Dave's genuine boundless enthusiasm & gushing positivity for everything guitar related.
OK, he's like a springer spaniel on drugs & has been known to bang on a bit, but the world is a better place for him being here.
Did I mention, he can play the guitar quite canny anarl

Thank you very much, it really was a joy to see this video. Now, I’ll need to send him one of my aged mint scratchplates for it too!

Excellent stuff! Dave seems a likeable character and a great player.

I love the way the body shut him up for a
minute as well. I mean that in a nicest way, he was genuinely speechless!

I learnt something a well - the yellow stain being applied to the whole body.

Glad business is going well for you and I’m sure you’ll be getting loads off additional enquiries off the back this exposure.

Gave up watching at 3mins when he took the wrapper off. Shocking condition and suprised if any of that damage could have happened en route. No idea what you must have done to the body before you sent it. Very shoddy work indeed.

Alternatively - stunning looking body and brilliant to see how overwhelmed Dave was on receipt. You'll be swamped (even more so) with orders I'd expect!

Well done mate, big fan of the both of you.

You work is stunning @GoldenEraGuitars. I will have to save up and get something done

Fantastic work, and it’s nice to see Dave so happy with it.

Thank you guys. I actually wasn’t expecting a one take - uncut unboxing video. That was quite a surprise. Seeing it certainly lightened my mood, it’s nice to know that my work was well received
