Mantis II in Black and Gold

Just finished up this build for a customer - its one of my Mantis II in Black and Gold. Mahogany body and neck - flame maple cap in trans black. Tree of Life inlay in the fretboard. Set up with Bare Knuckle single coils in the neck and middle with a Gibson P94T in the bridge. Its wired like a Strat and it sounds and plays better than I could have expected.

Gary Moore / Amen Corner Fender Strat

A very nice Strat just came into the shop - it was previously owned and played by Neil Jones of Amen Corner - I have documentation stating Neil got it from his brother-in-law Andy Fairweather Low. Andy bought the guitar from a Fender dealer in London and it was originally owned by Gary Moore!

The guitar is a c.1987 Japanese Strat (all original) in fiesta red, rosewood fretboard, vintage 1950's single ply white pickguard (8 hole), gotoh tuners, 2 graphite black string trees.

Just serviced and set up the guitar and its a great instrument.

Guitar for Dave Grohl and online article about my workshop

Just finishing up building a guitar for Dave Grohl. Motorhead recently did a tour supporting the Foo Fighters in the U.S.A. and as a way of saying thank you we built him an exact replica of Phil Campbells TC Ellis Les Paul style guitar (he is a big Motorhead fan). The guitar should ship to him next week so I will post any pics I may get of him with the guitar. The guitar is one of my Series 2 Les Paul style loaded with Bare Knuckle Warpigs. Thanks very much to Tim Butcher and Lemmy for all the help with this one.

The Wales on Sunday newspaper just ran an article about my workshop - you can check it out online at this link: TC Ellis Guitars
