Getting ready for a busy 2026!

So I've pretty much finished up the last of the T Dog Customs paintwork ready to lock in to the woodworking side of things.

I'm really looking forward to learning more and more of the guitar and bass building process!

I hope you all have a great Christmas and i'll be back with more updates on what I'm learning!

So I was searching through the scrap and offcuts of wood and came across this year's old Calibas neck that my grandad would have been working on as a project and never finished.

As i'll be spending the coming months learning the building and shaping process of making guitars and basses, I thought it would be great to finish this thing off but put a couple of my own little T Dog twists on it!

I'll post some updates of my progress as and when I chip away at getting it finished off. As long as I don't trash it 🙃. Everybody's gotta start somewhere 🤷‍♂️😂

Time to fire up the old saw and cut out some neck blanks and centre sections for bodies!

!! ANNOUNCEMENT PLEASE READ!!

Hi guys, it's a bit of a tough post today, but I have an announcement.

After a lot of consideration, I have made the difficult decision not to continue with finishing and refinishing work.

I imagine this may come as a bit of a shock, especially to those who regularly use my services. There are a lot of reasons that have led me to make this decision, but the main one is that I am now looking to fully support the family business moving forward.

I fully intend to finish off any work that I currently have in and will honour all finishes and refinishes that I already have booked in over the coming months. But I won't be accepting any new work as of today.

I am truly sorry to those who are affected by this. I'd just like to thank all of you who have supported me, especially after I announced my return early last year. I'm a huge supporter of the UK independent guitar builder scene, and I will continue to be a big fan of all of your work!

I will still be posting on here, but it's likely to be of the entire guitar building process and not just paintwork!

Again, a huge thank you to all of you!

All the best,

T Dog
