About Solace Instruments

Solace instruments started with two interests 'colliding', music and wood.  I've always played and this interest lead me to building several bass guitars over time, first while I was in 5th Form at school, the second a good 15 years later.  Stomp boxes followed, then guitars, basses and a couple of hand-made amps.  

The inspiration for building a guitar came via a love for music & a Stew Mac catalogue that was in a pile of guitar mags a friend gave me.  This was in 2009 & I have not looked back.  I enjoy the process & the 'processing' it allows.

Most of the wood I use is NZ recycled native timber such as Rimu, Matai and Rewarewa.  Most of it comes from Marlborough and is a fitting end to a house, bach or carport that once held a roof over our heads.
