45 years ago, in a small workshop in Poole, my dad stood right here building something the guitar world had never seen.A Bond.A rule-breaker.A piece of engineering so strange, so bold, so ahead of its time that people are still talking about it today. — 45 years ago, in a small workshop in Poole, my dad stood right here building something the guitar world had never seen.A Bond.A rule-breaker.A piece of engineering so strange, so bold, so ahead of its time that people are ***still*** **talking about it today.**

Today, I get to say something I’ve waited my whole life to write:

🔥 The new Bond guitar prototype is officially underway. 🔥

After years of graft, setbacks, silence, persistence and a sheer bloody refusal to stay buried —the build begins now.

My dad sparked this fire in the 80s.I’m the one reigniting it — hotter, louder, sharpened by legacy,and driven by a touch of spite for anyone who thought Bond was done.

And now, all these years later, Bond hands will make them again — the same bloodline, the same DNA, lifting the torch where he set it down and igniting the next chapter.

People will remember this date —the day the Bond guitar rose again.

A moment carved into the timeline, burned into the metal,and carried forward with rebellion in its veins.

The return has begun.

More updates soon.
