It was a choice of Alder or Mahogany. Majority vote was Mahogany and I remember it rang a really nice tap tone compared to the Alder that did not ring so much.

So, just to confirm, "Lockdown Lucy", aka LDL, that's the walnut guitar, right? 😊

Thank you Mark and Carol for giving us something to look forward to in life amidst the current state of the world. Truly appreciate all that you guys do and the sense of kinship with all the members. ...

I have to agree with Darren on this - the live streams gave/still gives me something to look forward to amidst the gloom....... The GM Community has also been totally brilliant! Thanks to everyone who...

Hi Mark and Carol, This last year has been just awful for so many people but, certainly for me, having your livestreams to look forward to and the clubhouse/classroom feel of the livechat, including a...

Woo-hoo! @markbailey & Carol, What an enormously generous thing to do! I of course hope that I will win but as I never win anything at least I won’t feel down if I don’t. 😂 Best of luck to...

Thanks Mark and Carol. What a great bunch of super cool guitar enthusiasts. 😎 I’m here because of your livestreams during the lockdown as well. Life is good as I am getting ready to start my f...

Please re-enter/allocate any tickets allocated to me to be among others who enter. Whilst it would be a privilege to play a Bailey guitar, I'm overrun with guitars and my wife likes the little bit of ...

@markbailey and Carol Thank you for all these livestreams and the online courses and the chance to win lockdown lucy. Had it not be for lockdown, I would never have found you and I wouldn't be buildin...

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment...... 🎸🎶🙂🙏

First record I ever bought

Got a little more work done. Got my custom headstock inlay done and my mother of pearl side dots are in. I've gotta wait for some fretting tools and then I can put them in. Going to work a bit on my b...

@tv101 for sure. Going from that rectangular block to a neck carve that I really love felt so satisfying! I like asymmetrical necks so I was kind of concerned about how it would turn out since this wa...

@mattbeels yes! Amazing how hard it is to get it just right. I can see why PRS started out using birds. They were unique but also they didn't have to be perfectly spaced. Now I understand more why the...
