My main instrument is: probably needing new strings

This is the question that's just been asked by Acoustic Magazine on their Facebook and Twitter page to help them engage with their readership.... So, I've stuck a vote in for Dave and Rory - might help generate a bit of interest in their instruments..... Maybe you have your own ideas...

I don't do facebook or twitter, but if I did it would have to Alister (as we seem to be using 1st names)

They say it's better to keep quiet and let people think you're an idiot than say something and confirm it so.... who's Alister?

Alister Atkin, of Atkin Guitars based near Canterbury, I have a lovely example of one of his rosewood OM's. Did wonder if many people would know who Alister was when I posted it but thought for some silly reason Id follow the 1st name trend!

De Faoite guitars.
I know it's subjective but there is a certain tone I want to hear in a guitar and Dave's instruments have it.

Favourite is the right word, as it really is a personal taste thing. Dafoite are so earthy and innovative. Taran's are just beautiful. My fave's are Steve Agnew, because I've played a lot of them and owned 2 and I've never been disappointed. But on reflection his small bodied guitars don't reslly suit my limited technique. So if i did go handmade again, it'd probably be Brook.

It's just that casual and informal around here I really like Alister's guitars, especially the look of the J-45 style guitar (alas I haven't played it). Kris Drever gets a great sound from his Atkin. I've seem him play up close three times now, and he always uses his Atkin.
