Well iv learned to love this geezer

I said ages ago i love the "action" shots this dude gets!!

I also love his steadfast approach to guitar building despite it totally not being my cup of tea - he obviously loves what he does and his customers like his creations - judging by ebay feedback.

Tele pickups in non original places are cool - well maybe one day folks

I had one of those Columbus Teles. Surprisingly nice guitar, actually.

you know what, at least he seems happy

I love him. Truly. There is a delicious innocence about his work.

Childish and unnecessary thread. Poor form..

Harmless eccentric in the grand old British tradition - and a member of this board.

....now, er, let me see, what's all this flippin' wire in this hole? We can get rid of that nonsense I can tell you...more room to get my sausage fingers in.

Good luck to him! He sells quite a few of those things!

Agreed, this is approaching bullying in my view.

Not nearly as cruel as the abuse he puts some of those guitars through.

Ditto ,I truly believe he represents the quintessential British eccentric. In a time of war, austerity, and less than honest politicians, Mr Philips brings a smile to my face and reminds me what a bonkers nation we are. He does his own thing, in his own way.

I honestly believe if he and Guy Martin presented a TV program together it would be an amazing show, and genuinely worth watching.

What would be cool if md Phillips could post here without the daftness

I think there's a lot of folk (lex luthiors) who will probably feel a little bad that this guy took a lot of stick due to his techniques.
