Another accident As I said earlier I’d seen some videos and thought “great idea, but can’t see a benefit to me”. A week away without a guitar changed my mind so inspired by scorpiodog ’s recent acquisition I took the plunge. The pre-loved one didn’t work out, it had seen some tough love, so I bought new. There’s a guitar in here apparently: Perhaps it’s in here, unless I have one of those Russian dolls Yes there’s a guitar Assembling was easy, albeit with an ominous “twang”, gave it a quick tune and now letting it settle to temperature but, as expected a very full sound from the quick play I had. Great service from Project Music in Exeter; I was initially planning to buy a used one they had but they called me to let me know they’d discovered some more issues with that one and gave me a deal on a new one.

Furchin’ ‘ell but that’s nifty!
Very handy for trips away. Congratulations; hope you have lots of fun together.
(If your ‘one in, one out’ rule is still in force then I would be prepared to do the decent thing and give your Brook a good home 😆)

(If your ‘one in, one out’ rule is still in force then I would be prepared to do the decent thing and give your Brook a good home 😆) The great thing about rules is that they were made to be broken fortunately I can maintain what little integrity I have and keep the Brook due to a loophole That allows me to make the rules up as I go along.

Well as a Brook fan you’ll also like the fact the the neck is very similar to a “standard” Brook neck; width and depth are within a fraction of a millimetre at both 1st and 11th frets.

A couple of days and a string change* in and I can report that it’s a great guitar, they’ve done a great job. It’s got an amazingly full sound for such a small body and plenty of volume. So definitely more than “just” a travel guitar.
*the folding neck and locking tuners made this a challenging three handed job but it should be easier next time round!
