I’ve tried one too. I found it a bit bland somehow, but beautifully built and easy to play.

That’s an inspiring story Cams. Good on you for staying positive and developing an enviable range of skills to move forward into what will, I’m sure, be a bright and rewarding future. All the very best my friend, to you and your family.

It's my firm belief that too many players ignore the nylon string, seems you're not a real man unless you play at least medium steels. The sound that nylon strings produce is truly suited to a lot of the celtic music particularly (even more if you use true gut). If you don't have one make it your next acquisition. Oh and yes Cort are pretty decent for the money. Sound advice. Why not check the Classified section to see if, by any chance, there’s one currently available?

Who cares if it’s not 100% acoustic, there’s some mighty classy musicianship here...

I know Eric Skye often gives it some impressive guitar face, but on this evidence Jamie Stillway's right up there

Then I bought yet another Waterloo (a lovely one) and placed an order on a custom Brook. Details, we need details!

That would assume I’d just ordered one! I haven’t... Knowing you as I do I take that as meaning you ordered it some time ago then....... Who do you think you are, Andrew bloody Neil?

ocarolan , you should know that I hobnob with celebrity luthiers - sorry Roger, I mean guitar makers - all the time! I merely wanted to bring the Oberon to jackorion ’s attention, as a kind of public service announcement. There’ll be no new guitar for me in 2019... Roger's build time makes it a new one in 2021 then? That would assume I’d just ordered one! I haven’t...
