For year's Peter has been frustrated by the choices he was given by mainstream manufacturers.

Lady luck is not his friend.
Hope he's ok.

Lady Luck is his missus' name. 

I actually find him a bit frightening, sick of his big goatman mug all over ebay.

Have your SG modded to sound like famous Telecaster players like Hendrix and Rory Gallagher.

A good Gibson design, but given the finishing touches to make it a great gigging guitar!

He wears it well to be fair.

Just read the blog - do you think Ting Tong has big hands? A mail order bride as well as lunacy - you couldn't make it up! Someone should invite him to the forum! And the guy thinks he's improved upon Gibsons design of the SG by supergluing a single coil on it. Still, in the words of Eric Morecombe, you can't see the join! Delusional!

And his unborn child is to be called J Edgar! It's got to be a wind-up?

It's his second mail-order bride and he's had a hip replacement - it's either a bad country song or the missing scripts from Eastenders!

The kitchen table workshop inspires such confidence.

For me though, this is the clear winner - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Iceman-Strat-custom-luthier-body-with-telecaster-and-humbucker-pickups-/190975850822?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2c770c3946

As I said earlier, the neck has been repaired; it is off a 1980s Korean strat ..........

And I love the finely sign-written and deeply varnished head with smooth quality enclosed gear machine-heads.

 

He should be an estate agent!

Can we make this a sticky

I really think this guy is a card - I'm half tempted to message him about a guitar with some really technical questions and then post his answers here

I kinda like him

Travisthedog

Also weren't we looking for ideas for a new TFB t shirt?

We could have a phot of him on the back with some of his best quotes !!

Let's be clear, this guy is asking £539 for an abortion with a clumsily repaired Squier neck, a bodged and totally unsuitable front pickup, and a cheap-arsed 12 quid Artec crap-bucker?
Jesus on a bike!

 I noticed this bloke a while back, and did find it mildly annoying at the time. But the prices he's charging now??? I mean, just who, with £550 in their pockets to buy a guitar, would prefer to buy that thing? Why would you??? Even a beginner would surely look around at what you can get new for less money, and see how awful this stuff is... :-O

The Q&A at the bottom of that page is awesome!

After fitting a six string 48mm nut I re cut the string grooves to bring the strings down low over the first fret-wire; this both gives you super-light easy chording, but equally it gives a very low string action in the first few frets and this is then carried up the neck with the required slight increase by truss rod adustment and bridge height... but if as many guitar techs fail to do, you don't start with the nut action and just wind down the bridge, you can never get a low action around the twelfth fret or you end up with the action higher at the first fret than at the twelfth! And your strings have to oscillate at their greatest at the twelfth fret and their least at the first fret.

How long did he live in the Philippines?
