Went to see Simon of Gus guitars today, is workshop is only about 20 minute drive from me. I went to see his new design bass, this is moving away from his normal construction of carbon fibre. The neck is standard Maple / Rosewood or Maple / Maple, although the neck is a multi-piece Maple laminar. The body is of an all wood construction but keeping his classic chrome tube part way round the body.
One of the new basses part built.
One of Simon's normal guitars (if you can call them that) of carbon fibre construction, I believe this is going to be the Prince version. The black block next to the part built guitar is the mould that the front of the guitar is moulded in. Every part of the guitars that Simon makes he manufactures his self, which includes all the metalwork, he winds his own pickups, the only part of the guitar he does not make are the tuners.
Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

It’s fair to say that his aesthetic is not my thing but I feel there is a definite need for builders like Simon, pushing boundaries and moving this whole thing on.
I bring you exclusive surveillance footage from the delivery of the raw materials for the upper balloon animal bout of that bass:
