Under Construction

1982 Chandler Giffin made by Roger Giffin
himself,totally hand built from start to finish


         
Ash body and a heavy birdseye maple neck with
a rosewood board      
          
               
This has a Charlie Christian jazz pickup in the neck, a very early schecter pickup in the middle position and a Joe Bardon in the bridge that was donated to me by my mate 'bumnote'.  He doesn't know he donated it but I still haven't paid for it yet!  I'll leave him a shovel in my will so he can recover his pickup because the chances of me actually paying are very slim!  The bridge, pots (volume 500k and tonepot 1mg) and five way switch are callaham american parts.  This guitar gives me everything from typical country tele to Strat/Les Paul, you name it, it's got it.


                    

1961 'worn to the wood' sunburst Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Strat.  S/N R22116.  This is fitted with 3 Lindy Fralin hot strat pickups and a Dennis Cornell pre-amp
