David, looks as good in the photos as I remember it. I have actually held this guitar in my hands when David visited me, in the flesh it is a truly beautiful guitar one that any builder would be proud to have made, and yes it does sound as good as it looks. The workmanship and David's innovative design details are masterful.

lefranglais, David, would you do me a favour and post some pictures of your skeleton bass again please, and say hi to Cathi for me.

If it sounds half as good as it looks then your nephew is a very lucky guy
	I play guitar, harmonica, low whistle, tin whistle and irish flute. I'm not particularly good at playing any of these, but I enjoy playing them. And isn't that what it's all about? Bernd

I'll try to post some photos of the bass Colin. Can't do a build thread as I completely forgot to take photos.

newdave: I was disappointed too but I don't think I'll really feel it until next year, when it will suddenly become all too real. Nov 8, 2024 19:52:53 GMT
