Beautiful guitar, Ian! What material did he use for the rosette and headstock inlay? Very unusual looking and really cool

Yep the rosette and headstock inlay is very unusual. They are made of Japanese Washi paper...
Cheers,
Ian

My main instrument is: probably needing new strings

Saw this on faceAche, ianlp59... though with getting a new pool liner just in time for the summer I'm surprised you had time to play What a beautiful looking instrument. Has it got electrics on board or is it pure acoustic to be miked up as and when?

Hi Leo,
No electrics on this one, it's completely unadorned, not even a strap button. I'm inclined to leave it that way...
Cheers,
Ian

Not heard of this maker Ian, can you tell us something about him? I can see some Symogyi influences, maybe one of his apprentices?

Hi Robbie,
Tom Sands very recently finished a two year apprenticeship with Ervin. He is based in Ripon, north Yorkshire and is building for himself. His list extends currently to the end of 2018. Like all the Somogyi accolytes he builds a mean guitar and this one is no exception...
Cheers,
Ian

Looks great. Does the red veneer on the headstock mean he intends to be the Christian Louboutin of guitar makers?
Congrats Ian. Fab looking guitar.

Just paid a visit to Tom Sands' website and there are some very good guitar comparison videos on the 'Media' page. Really lovely sounding instruments!

Beautiful guitar Ian - if it sounds even half as good as it looks it would be amazing. Mark
