From this workshop.

Selected pieces from recent builds.

Each guitar carries a small nickel-silver medallion on the back of the headstock and comes with a certificate of authenticity that records the materials used, hardware, finishes, electronics and date. The medallion is engraved with my signature only when the instrument is complete, then set into the neck plate on the back. Cabinets carry a small plate on the back and come with a certificate as well. These are small details, visible for the ones who know what they have. Others will not notice.

Electric guitars.

— Prototype · for family

S-style · 1961 · Sherwood Green.

The first one I built end-to-end, and the one I learned on. My wife picked the colour — a dark Sherwood Green — and the gold hardware to match. Christmas gift to our daughters. There's a signature and a message behind the neck plate. Stays in the family.

— Build · for Lennard

S-style · 1961 · Pelham Blue.

Pelham Blue with gold hardware — the owner's call. Neck profile sits between a C and a U: not too thin, not too thick, oiled on the back. Fingerboard edges rolled, so it plays like it has had decades of use.

— Build · for a colleague

S-style · 1961 · Sherwood Green.

Built for a very special colleague and friend, whose leadership, values, and honesty I admire. Same pre-CBS specifications as the Pelham Blue, but in nickel hardware throughout — the quieter choice.

— Build no. 0001 · for Matthias Freund, Ulm

S-style · 1961 · Black Gloss.

Built for Matthias Freund, a musician here in Ulm. He has owned many guitars and never stopped looking for the final one. I offered to build it in the spirit of pre-CBS, and shaped the neck to fit his hand. It has been his go-to ever since, and I see it on stages around town.

— Build · for Nick

T-style · flamed maple top, mahogany body.

Built for Nick, who came to me without a fixed picture of what he wanted. I sent him photos through the build so he could watch it take shape. The combination of Häussel P90s with the old mahogany works well. I won't repeat this exact build — every instrument is its own — but the recipe goes into the notebook.

— Cabinets

Speaker cabinets.

— Cabinet · 2×12 diagonal

Black · 2×12.

Built to complement a 2023 Two-Rock Studio Signature head. Two G12-65 speakers, three-dimensional sound with a hi-fi character. The finish was chosen to sit alongside the head, which was hand-built in California.

— Cabinet · 1×12

Black · 1×12.

Built to complement a 2025 Two-Rock Studio Signature head. Eminence Cannabis Rex 12″ inside, picked for the smooth clean voice the owner wanted — well suited to jazz and blues.

Emerald Green · 2×12.

Built for a professional musician and guitar teacher to run with his 6L6-powered Morgan. On stage shortly after delivery — the Marshall-style vintage tolex paired with the black diamond cloth (the same kind that shows up on Dumble heads) reads differently from anything else on the floor. Worth noting: Kerry Wright also built cabinets for Howard Alexander Dumble.

— Cabinet · 1×12

Emerald Green · 1×12.

Built for a player who came back to electric guitar after years on acoustic, and added a Two-Rock head along the way. Inside is an Alessandro 12″. I first heard one in a 12″ F-style Dumble combo where the original speaker had been swapped out — when someone makes that change to a 50k-plus amp, the choice carries weight. The sound bears it out.
