Well its not every day you get a call from a stranger to say I've got a shed full of old Ebony come and have a look . Not a bad score for 20 plus year old Ebony for only a few hundred bucks ! The Timber gods must be on my side this year.

Now, if anyone knows me well, they know I have a healthy obsession with old motorcycles. Now, this post has nothing to do with guitars but never the less I thought I would share to all. Recently, my daughter and i made front cover of Greasy Culture Magazine, a great little magazine out of London, for all things two wheeled and crazy! Check it out at www.greasykulture.com
So, if anyone out there has any old bikes or crusty parts kinking around, I'm always happy to barter work in return for old iron! Just ask.

It was great to catch up with Harry Manx and Yeshe over the weekend. They both dropped over for lunch and we got to hang out in the workshop and talk shop, It's always a pleasure hanging out with Harry and Yeshe I always walk away feeling inspired and re-centered, they both just seems to have this infectious vibe that you cant help taking on board. Yeshe told us that he has picked up the Xavier Rudd support which is coming up and looks like to be a monster tour. So be sure to check that out and catch Yeshe. We both got talking about a possible collaboration on a custom Kamele Ngoni which is going to be quite the challenge I think. Harry is heading back home soon and mentioned heading back into the studio, so keep your ears out !
