Steve Smith from southend on sea, Used to build Heart guitars and worked at goodfellow basses I believe.

he retired after heart guitars but just before that he started Jordan guitars specialising in carbon necks, I had a Jordan strat and it was amazing!
after that he decided to knock it all on the head.
