  1. I love it. I’m in absolute awe of these people, particularly Steve the watchmaker and Will the carpenter.

    Fantastic show........I may send details of my Gretsch guitar than needs restoration.

  3. PM me if you're serious about the Gretsch resto. I know a very fastidious guy that does just that.

  6. He's near Coalville in Leicestershire. He's a session guitarist (also played with Beautiful South for some time), but spends most of his time teaching and repairing guitars. Plays a Gretsch himself. I'll look out his number tomorrow

  7. Fantastic. I may be in Leicestershire next week, so could, in theory, take it to him to have a look at.
