Holy Grail Guitar Show - Berlin 2018

The Holy Grail Guitar Show 2018 was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our work and meet some incredible luthiers.  I was assisted on the stand by son (and guitar builder) Joseph Case.  Here is a snapshot of the weekend ...

"Fabulous retro yet modern look. Very cool!" - Andy Powell

Andy Powell from the band ‘Wishbone Ash’ has commissioned a new Tele® inspired guitar.

Andy wanted a guitar to sound like his cherished '52 Tele® but with the appearance of a semi-hollow thinline. Using quality swamp ash and maple, with traditional construction methods, To achieve the sound Andy was after, I had to keep the body as solid as possible and would have to select a light piece of swamp ash. Also, the cavity beneath the f hole would have to be kept to a minimum.

After preparing visuals for Andy to consider, tweaks were made and the final design was approved. With the full size plans drawn and routing templates cut, the build is now proceeding.

The totally new model will be named the APJT Thinline and will feature a Babicz Full Contact Hardware Tele® bridge and Bare Knuckle single coil pickups from their Blackguard Tele® series range with a Flat '50 in the bridge and Flat '52 in the neck position.
 

It was great to meet so many new people and also some old friends at the London International Guitar Show yesterday.

We are honoured to have built two guitars for Stefan Olsdal of Placebo. Stefan wanted an oversized single-cut with a Florentine cutaway and a pickguard to mount the controls. It was important to Stefan that the pickguard should follow the shape of the carved top. After many attempts, we finally devised a way of forming a 3D pickguard. Another custom requirement was to have a slanted, Nighthawk style bridge pickup, which Bare Knuckle made for us to their amazing Polypaf spec. Placebo are currently on their 30th Anniversary Tour of Europe and the UK
Took off from Biggin Hill, flew over London and landed at Manston. Highly recommend the Manston Spitfire Experience flight simulator.

We visited our friend and luthier, Andy Crockett. Andy built an archtop for the great Jim Mullen—an instrument I had designed with him. During the visit, he tried out our JS Standard, which was inspired by a 1961 SG Standard he had owned as a teenager—an instrument that had left a lasting impression on me. Andy put the JS Standard through his Supro combo and loved it. #caseguitars #bareknucklepickups #maestrotremolo #luthier #guitarist
