I am also intrigued. The guitar that Stuart played does sound very good. Adam is coming to my annual guitar bash this month (20th) and will be bringing an example with him, so I will get to see/hear the real deal then.

Cheers,

Ian

So, what is the verdict on the guitar from the weekend?

It's very, very good. Interestingly, we had a couple of other OM-18 wannabes as well. It stacked up very well against both of them although they were all incredibly similar. I suppose this is hardly surprising as they are all trying to be the same thing. If I was in the market for vintage Martin pre-war style guitar, I would seriously consider it, particularly at it's current price point.

Cheers,

Ian

I was impressed too - but I think all the guitars suffered a bit from the high humidity on Saturday. Mine had just been set-up by Ralph that week and was sounding a bit dull.

Adam had a lot of interest and I hope it spurs them on to make more.
