The Great Guitar Build-off
Arran Adair
My name is Arran Adair. I'm a full-time dad, husband and secondary school teacher. Hobbyist guitar maker, guitarist and musician for life. I have previously made a Brian May 'Red Special' tribute guitar, as well as a Telecaster style guitar, many tin box guitars, shovel guitars and a lap slide guitar. I use the name 'Adair Guitars' on Instagram and have started a YouTube channel for this competition. I'm a backyard builder from Geelong in Australia.
My build is going to be a Doctor Who inspired guitar, based on the body shape of a Yamaha SGV800 as used by the 12th Doctor in the episode 'The Magician's Apprentice' (Series 9, Episode 1). My guitar will be 'bigger on the inside' and will have 'time travel' elements. It will be blue.
