I was out at David Dykes today and I met Terry Morgan, what a nice guy.

    Did he discuss what his plans are re the future? I had heard he was planning to retire from the guitar building business.

     Tongue-in-cheek,

     NO mine are not real Les Paul's, I don't use hide glue, I use a full width tenant joint, I remove all the sharp corners round round the neck joint to make it easier to get to the lower frets. I use a jointer for all my joints and I use full height binding in the low horn. I'm sure there are other things about my Les Paul's, that the purists will crucify me for doing.

     I wasn't at David Dykes buying wood I was delivering wood to him, I slot fingerboard for him. I also do a lot of jointing for him. So if you ever buy a pre-joined body blank, you know where it was jointed.

    Well, this is monumental!!! A real meeting with Terry Morgan....    :o

    This should be properly documented in some way. Maybe a picture, or tapestry or something?


    Terry Morgan telling GSPBASSES that he is not building anymore:

    Ive met David Dyke, and he came across as a top bloke - and his place is an absolute treasure trove. What I wouldn't give to have free reign to nosey around the stacks of wood.

    @richardhomer That's you in the background of the picture above. Taking your Timberlands off after many years wandering the desert in search of Terry Morgan.

    David always lets you rummage round all his wood stock, you can  spend hours there and never really see all the wood.

    David Dyke or Terry Morgan, I don't know about them, but I am.

    Problem with rummaging is that it can get expensive quickly. Plus I live in central Scotland, so can't spend too long when Im on my way back from my brothers' in Shoreham. And then I have to explain to my wife why I needed to buy more bits of maple, mahogany etc......

    You could always drop the wife off at the Cafe by the Lake, is just round the corner from David, about a five minute walk, excellent food, they make a great cappuccino, really good choice of alcohol.

    An excellent suggestion, but for the fact my wife doesn't like coffee or drink much alcohol. Actually, that base is covered anyway because whenever we go down, I tend to drive and my wife flies with the boys - much less stressful for all :) Buuut, she is very good at sniffing out unapproved purchases......
