Matthew Longworth Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 Hello all I could really use some help identifying the roots of my guitar. My brother has a friend who works at the local refuse centre and one day brought home a guitar which now belongs to me but I cannot for the life in me find any information on this guitar. On the headstock it says "Parkinson Leigh, Lancs"... ANY information on this guitar or the people who made it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Matthew Quote
Musical Mystery Tour Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 As far as I'm aware that would have been made by the small backroom guitar maker, Gordon Parkinson. He made copies of Strats, Teles, Les Pauls, SGs and some bass guitars. As far as I'm aware they were fairly decent guitars, but sometimes a bit quirky in places, occasionally somewhat dubious finishes.

Matthew Longworth Posted March 21, 2024 Author Posted March 21, 2024 Hardly worthless when I only want to know about the people who made it. You have enough information. Like the other guy who replied... Absolutely amazing information, exactly the information I wanted so thank you very much for your help Quote
