Thread Name: Tech: Pete Back Guitars
Subject: RE: Tech: Pete Back Guitars
Back in the late 80's Pete made me a guitar just as he was toying with the idea of selling up his Sheffield hardware business and returning to his previous occupation as a luthier.
I persuaded him that he should get back into it after he showed me his old scrapbook of guitars he'd made in the past. Some wonderful instruments and as I recall, some famous endorsments.
I've played a lot of Pete Back guitars and they're of a high standard. Mostly made to order with a neck profile to suit the customers specification, I always thought they were good value.
I haven't seen Pete in years but anyone who knows him knows he's a straight-talking honest Yorkshireman and a gentleman too.
I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend him or his guitars.

I seem to remember Pete had a son who played guitar in a big name Sheffield-based rock band whose name escapes me? No relevance to the topic, just a passing aside.
