Gary Lewis Biography
|
| Present |
Now I play guitar for fun!! Sometimes with local bands/duos.
I have ALWAYS maintained and repaired my own guitars since the age of 12 / 13.
I decided to make a guitar for travelling. It was primitive - but it did play! The seed had been planted and I soon decided to make my ideal Rock guitar. The guitar was a success and I played it for a while until I was nagged to sell it to a local guitar player. It was then I realised that 'I could make guitars as well, if not better than factory built instruments'.
