My main instrument is: probably needing new strings

Just spent a happy hour watching the 50 Years Of Fylde video and now I want a Fylde (probably an Oberon). Then I made the mistake of opening the Brook newsletter and now I want a Brook (probably a Taw). Feck me, it never ends, does it? Maybe I need to start dropping hints about retirement to my family and/or employers

Why not go for both, leoroberts? If you're talking new, the Brook will arrive sooner with the Fylde following at a respectable distance. The Fylde 50yr vid is brilliant isn't it? Could have done with a fair bit more Rog in it though. Keith PS Oberon is a great choice, but one of the simpler mahogany b/s guitars would be a fair bit cheaper, and possibly arrive sooner...

The Orsino would do - but I’m only dreaming so why limit myself? 😀
Yes, not a lot of RB in the video - but rather too much of Ben Harper with his guitars in front of a radiator…

The challenge with both of these builders is they offer far too much choice. I recommend they switch to a simple Goldilocks approach. The Three Bears live in a house in the forest. They have three dishes of porridge, three seats, three beds, and three guitars. You know the story. The dénouement is that Goldilocks finds a guitar which is "just right", and escapes out of the window with it. Perfick. If she had to spend the time testing 26 different guitar models, the Bears would get home before she's finished, and she gets caught. It does, in this sad scenario - with some Bears pawing you, or mauling you, or even devouring you. Feck me. Better to limit the choice. S, M or L? Peter
