Twenty years of other people’s guitarsWho has had
one of these.
During this time I have worked on guitars for the likes of Slade, Albert Lee, Smokie, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Raymond Froggatt, The Charlatans, Tyla of Dogs D’amour, Scott Matthews, The Futureheads, and more recently Robert Fripp.
Thirty guitars for Status Quo.
Late in 2009 I completed an order for over 15 bespoke custom built Telecaster and Stratocaster guitars and basses for rock legends Status Quo. To date I have produced over 30 guitars for them, and my working relationship with the band grows ever stronger.
Andrew Bown plays a J.Davey in the official video for “Beginning Of The End”, from In Search Of The Fourth Chord.
“I bought some more (guitars) from Jamie Davey who, as far as I’m concerned, is a guitar god. He makes custom built guitars modelled on the glorious Telecaster, although he actually made me a Stratocaster as well. Every guitar he makes for you is better than the last one and sounds completely different. It’s fantastic!”Andy Bown · Status Quo

You do not have to be a touring rock legend to get your dream guitar built by an experienced and knowledgeable craftsman. Beginners, semi pros and session musicians all come to my workshop with visions of their dream guitar or bass, and I make it a reality.
Not all of them are rock stars.
Most of the work through this bench is somebody’s only guitar, and it gets exactly the same treatment.
