I've been fortunate to visit Clive's workshop and I was like a kid in a candy store. He'd got a couple of Esquires in blonde which convinced me that was the colour of my "next" Clive Brown guitar.

He's a total master of what he does and a great guy too. I spent upwards of 3 - 4-hours chatting, drinking tea and indulging about vintage, classic and replica guitars.

Since I got my Broadcaster replica I haven't gigged anything else. It's just great to play and awesome to look at.

Hey Peter, we should program our next visit together to Clives Candy store!
There are many things we could talk over a cup of tea, wed probably need more than a whole day

Absolutely gorgeous restoration of that tele! There are other folks who do relic blackguard tele finishes, but I sometimes find their colors too bright or yellowish. That one has the perfect creamy/beat finish the others can't touch. Enjoy!

Hi

can anyone PM me Clive Brown's contact details? He seems to be pretty elusive and I've turned nothing up in a search (other than people asking for his contact details and failing LOL)

Thanks

Hi All,
Here is a pic of my '59 Esquire's body refin by Clive in the 90's. Look at the perfect work done here! Amazing, no?

Clive is a telephone guy. He does respond to e-mails but I always pick the phone up and speak to him.

If you're in Boston, Lincolnshire there's no time difference. If you're in Boston, MA, we're 5-hours in front!

We have no holes here so it must be Boston, MA
