sambo66 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Has anyone heard of G. Pollard or Swallow guitars? I have a built P bass by this brand/person and also had a beautiful custom bass by him many years ago when I was young (which I regrettably swapped a long time ago). Does anyone have any info? I think he/they were based in East Sussex. I'd love to find my old swallow bass, the most distinctive thing was a flame shaped headstock. Here are some pics of the logo on my p bass. Thanks all, Sam.

ikay Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Here's an old listing for a Graham Pollard 'PRS custom' guitar which has the same swallow logo (see 5th pic down). No other info but may offer a clue in your search. https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/171392/graham-pollard-prs-custom-22-style-guitar-600-ono-sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambo66 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Nope, I signed up on that forum but his username doesn't work. Basically I can't message him. Does anyone have any more information or contact details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Here's another link to a youtube vid. Info on the builder seems to be somewhat scarce! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin_ Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 He's on thefretboard, but hasn't been active since December apparently. His profile there is @GSPBasses, but his signature also points towards https://www.facebook.com/grahame.pollard.39/ I think he mainly focuses on making components for DIY these days, lots of examples of people making guitars based on bodies and necks he's made in the 'Making and Modding Section' (e.g: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/233569/q4-challenge-a-guitar/p1) Hope that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris W Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Graham Pollard lives in Eastbourne. I have one of his basses that was made as a demonstration of his skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambo66 Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 Hi Chris, I did manage to contact Graham and unfortunately he doesn't work anymore. Which bass do you have? I'd love to see a pic of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
