David Fahey

Neil Hulse

David Fahey has commissioned Doug to build him a version of the famous Rex Bogue Double Rainbow twin neck guitar.
(A picture of this guitar can be found below)

Doug has used some beautiful wood to create the guitar and has taken inspiration from the Double Rainbow, but will be using his 40 years of experience to make it the ultimate twin.

Dave Ball

Julian Carroll

Dave Ball, guitarist from Stone, has got his old band 'The Lemon Drops' back together and he decided to bring to life their old band mascot, Lord Lemon.

As you can see from the images, Doug has sketched out Lord Lemon to Dave's approval then carved the body by hand.
