The Kostal and Sobell sold today, to one very fortunate guy. Looking forward to my Romanian spruce shed now - hope it has a good tap tone. Guitarless, for a while... not for too long I hope. Jonny Does he own a bank ?

I've got an Apollo 3OC which is excellent for the money. All models seem to be very well made.

Many thanks for all the 'likes' comrades. I'll try to create a decent soundclip. Unfortunately, for the guitar, it'll be me playing it . John

Apologies for the delay. We had a bit of a disaster last week. We ran out of wine. So, before sorting out the piccies we just had to do an emergency wine run in the motorhome to Calais. Got back 2 hours ago with a shedload which should see us through a good while. There are some nice pictures there but they still don't do justice to the guitar in the wood so to speak. Maybe it's just me being a useless cameraman. I just love it

Great trip yesterday (I ended up doing it in one day because I ballsed up the Hotel res - 614 miles. I'm too old for that nowadays). The important stuff. The guitar is gorgeous. Roger was his usual welcoming self, Moira also who was in the office (I didn't get to meet her when I ordered the guitar last year. She's lovely). It was a very unfussy process. Roger gave me the guitar and a seat to try it out, Moira made me a mean cup of tea and they left me to enjoy myself. Which I did. It also sounded gorgeous in spite of my amateurish efforts. I won't go into great detail now because i'll be posting again soon once i've had a chance to get to know my new love better. When I got home and told Sue that I love Alex she took it completely the wrong way and said she wants a divorce. Oh well. John

Thanks all for good wishes and i'll pass on your greetings to Roger, Keith. The original build time, dobro, was 12-14 months which i'm sure I mentioned in the early posts. It has taken 18 months but, as Keith has mentioned previously patience is needed. As an example of possible delays I know Roger was ill recently (don't know for how long) and you can't just call in a temp to carry on that type of work. Having said that, a lead time of 7-8 months does imply maybe that Roger's order book is not as full as it was so maybe yours will be ready sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed. John

Well, it did take longer than expected but, i'm off to Penrith on Thursday to collect my new guitar. Oh happy day, oh happy day - and so on. I'll report back around Christmas time. You know. When I eventually put it down . John

I've got a AS50R which i'm planning on getting rid of. Too big for me to use in the house. I don't know what the difference is between this and the AS50D. I imagine someone out there knows. Anyway, if you try one and like it i'd let this go for £120 as i'd be saving ebay charges (would have to ask for £150 or so otherwise). John
