Default Cool as penguin p*ss

I love my job, and every now and then a case comes through that gives me even more satisfaction to do. Today though, when this works order dropped onto my bench, I actually got goosebumps!



It probably won't mean anything to the young whipper-snappers but the oldies on here will know who he is.



Oh, and he is obviously a chap of impeccable taste...the case is bright yellow!

Oooooooh!

Will you be leaving a special little gift inside for him?

Mrs BP is impressed, but then she's older than me.

Although...wouldn't get too excited Lissa, Grubersaberhagen make bespoke replica guitars, specialising in Genesis replicas. The case is probably not for the named reference.

Must admit, always preferred his Mike and the Mechanics stuff!

Wonder if he'll collect the cases in person?

Definitely for him, Dizz, we've supplied cases to him before.

Just went off the Client name Lissa.

Looking on their website, the guy really is bespoke, his blogs on his guitar making are impressive
