The Ha'Penny Bridge is celebrated by Fender Guitars legend John Cruz. Such a beautiful place for this amazing wood to live again!

Ha'Penny Bridge Plaques - You may have heard about hese legendary plaques - three guys saved the wood from being destroyed by Dublin Corporation etc etc etc. It's all true. Half of the wood has been used by Fender Guitars California to make guitars (Irish Roots Limited Edition), while we are always open to other great ideas. The plaques are available to individuals to buy online here. All plaques are numbered and signed with certificates of provenance.

After the recent huge interest in our projects, we thought we'd share a few more images - Fender Custom Shop and The Dublin Plaque Company are currently in the process of making history, as John Cruz, Fender's Master Guitar Builder has begun the process of hand-crafting a limited number of Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters from some of the actual wood from Dublin's Ha'Penny Bridge which we have just shipped to California. Alongside the Ha'Penny Bridge Plaques Project, It's another unique project, and one of which we are immensely proud to be involved with! See more on our website - the Plaques are numbered, leading to some buyers requesting Birthdays, Anniversary Dates etc (eg 1977, 1971 etc)
