Further information
I’ve just had a conversation with Chris Martin who said he had something he wanted to show me. He took a case out of cupboard and I said I had a horrible idea what he was going to show me. I was right. He asked me why it had caused such a negative reaction and I explained that in some detail. I said that if he had put Fuck Brexit on it he would have sold loads! “Oh it was the lack of one word” he said.

He should pay you a fee for such excellent advice Chris!

Did you ask him whether Martin will release a D28 (rear shifted of course) with a picture of Jimmy Saville on the soundboard? Well, at least Leeds United fans would buy that.... It seems a very perplexing decision to release the Brexit model. I'm genuinely intrigued to what their rationale behind such a model was. If there is some kind of silver lining Chris Martin knows what Brexit is....

The truth of the matter is most people in other parts of the world don't know much about Brexit if anything and generally don't care. Why should they? Chris Martin probably thought well, a majority voted for Brexit and that it should therefore be something to celebrate. Little does he know that it's unlikely to happen because it's 'too difficult'......

I'm afraid that for many years now Martin has been a business that makes guitars, rather than a guitar making business.

Isn’t it just a rather clunky, and totally unfunny, play on the fact that the USA gained its independence from the UK? They “exited” Britain from ruling their country by winning the war of independence. “Been there, done that” as it says on the soundboard.
Still total b******s though!

Another conversation with Chris this morning. Very likeable guy, talked more about the consequences of Brexit for musicians, work permits etc. Currently there’s only a prototype and one actual production guitar. Unlikely there’ll be more.
See some of you at Ian’s tomorrow all being well. I may be a bit tired!

Well done Chris. What a fine Ambassador to the US you would make. A vacancy to fill as well ! Hope this tool doesn`t find out.
