As those of you who are into vintage guitars are probably aware, the original incarnation of the Gibson Les Paul released in 1952 was virtually unplayable due to the strings running under (!?) the tail piece rather than over it.
However, help is at hand!
You can now make your 1952/53 playable with the Trapeaze™ from Crazy Pig Designs.
I’ve played a ’52 with the prototype of the Trapeaze™ on it and it really does work, turning an unplayable guitar into an absolute killer.

The current issue Guitar & Bass magazine (October 2011, click here) contains a review of our Sir Charles 15 1 x 12 combination amplifier.
We managed to score 92%, with top marks for looks (19/20 for sound), so it seems we have got our priorities right!

Now that we are fully familiar with our engraving machine we are offering our a custom panel engraving service to DIY builders and trade customers. In fact we are already supplying engraving to several builders in the UK already.
We have a web-site for this service which includes pricing for one off panels:
We will update this site with more examples of our work in the next few weeks.
Not only can we engrave amp panels and logos, but we can also produce PTFE (Teflon) turret and eyelet boards.
Please get in touch with your requirements.
