The postman brought my Fylde Alexander last week, but I have been away (terribly long weekend), and I've only now got the chance to play it. Let me just say that it's the best acoustic guitar I've ever played (although here in Norway there hasn't always been a wide range to choose from). But I fear that my D 35 and J 45 will be kept hanging on the wall for some time. It's a wonderful instrument, fat tone, balanced and the dynamic range is excellent. It's very versatile, and takes to strumming just as well as fingerpicking. And this after only two days of playing..Oh well, I will try to post a more comprehensive review with pics and soundclips (may take a while, I live in the digital bronze age ) when I get to know this lovely instrument better. Roger Bucknall is a fantastic luth...eh...guitar builder. Now back to playing..
