Rob is one of the UK's foremost independent guitar makers. I have one of his, a set-neck deluxe - literally one of his because he made it for himself originally. Coincidentally, I bought this, my first guitar from an independent builder, on the fourth of July, in 2013.

It's a fabulous guitar in every way, build, tone and playability. Yes, very expensive but, for once, the expense is fully justified.

Body, Brazilian Mahogany
Neck, laminated Brazilian Mahogany, American Black Walnut with Maple stringers.
Finger board, Rosewood
Top, Hawaiian Koa
Tuners, Gotoh 510 series magnum lock
Pickups, Own brand, hand wound, vintage spec

5 way switch; pos 1, bridge hum bucker
pos 2, inner coils in parallel
pos 3, outer coils in series
pos4, outer coils parallel
pos 5, neck humbucker

Controls, 500k CTS pots

Doug Wilkes from Stoke on Trent is an exceptional craftsman! Lots of vids on You Tube of him in his workshop!
