I guess I've been playing for over 20 years now since a small lad. I have been teaching guitar (rock and folk stuff) for about a year and also building my own electrics, doing setups for people, necks, pickup upgrades, custom circuits, fret dressing, for ages, only recently people have been giving me money for doing it, which is nice.
I've played bass in Jazz bands as well as heavy rock, lead and rhythm guitar in pub covers bands, all sorts of stuff really over the years, some time in a studio with a band recording a CD of their own stuff (played bass on that - very nerve-wracking).
I've got about 15 guitars at home now, of which 6 are made/assembled by me. I'd love to have a go at a good quality acoustic some time.
I basically love everything to do with guitars, playing them, teaching them, fixing them, tweaking them. If anyone has any repair or setup work they want doing and they are in my area please drop me a pm!
