I once got scammed buying a guitar advertised on Gumtree in the UK (I'm in Australia). I was fairly new to internet guitar purchasing and so was a little gullible but what really amazed me was how difficult it was to get any recourse - police, banks involved in the money transfer, Gumtree, federal govt fraud organisations etc. couldn't help. Privacy laws prevented me from getting my money back even though I had bank details, name of a/c, supposed address, email address, and mobile and residential phone numbers. I'd spoken with the "seller" several times and he seemed to know guitars but once I had sent the money all communication from him stopped... Curtis Everden I hope you choke on the cash you scammed from me....
Anyways, I think/hope I'm a little wiser now...

Great read Robbie... thanks for posting about it. I'm interested in the info on truss rod adjustment and shimming the saddle to get the the correct action. Does this mean that Brook guitars generally leave the shop with very low action and that you'd only ever need to raise is with shims rather than lowering it by sanding the saddle? The only Brook I ever played had wonderful low action and was a breeze to play

Lovely stuff Martin... I once had the pleasure of playing a guitar by Laurent Brondel from the States. He also builds with arched top and backs. It had great clarity and string separation that I also think I hear in your recording. I wonder if that has something to do with the arching? In any event, that sounds great. Cheers, Marcus
