  "The best bass guitar I have ever played," says Mark Hargreaves  
             
  Instrument Gallery

Doug has built an incredible amount of instruments over the last 30 years.

Instruments that Doug has build range from a huge variety of guitars and basses, to a custom built piano hand crafted for a Barry Manilow tribute act.

At this moment in time we have only a small selection of images to showcase some of Dougs fine work, please keep visiting Doug's web site as we will be updating the site regularly.

Quality components

Shaller

I believe Shaller are making some of the best quality instrument parts available today.

When a customer specifies a tremolo on their custom build, you can not get better than Shaller tremolos.
