Rob,
I now it is always hazardous to talk about the quality of sound, but I wonder if you can give us your thoughts on the Howe Orme design and whether it has any certain characteristics. From what I remember thesis certainly your bets sounding guitar yet. to what extent is this due to the inherent design or is it just you getting better at this making lark?

A very nice sound indeed. The only annoying thing was not being able to identify the bits of music that I recognized. The old memory's not what it used to be  |

Really like the look of this one and sounds fab. Very much looking forward to playing it at Halifax. In the unlikely event that it makes me sound good then you will definitely know you are on to a winner:)

I'm perturbed - and I didn't invest 6 months to building the bloody thing! I hope you work something out, Rob, cos the guitar looks amazing...

Thanks for your concern, leoroberts. I'll just loosen off the strings till I get to Halifax so that you can have one quick pluck before it implodes! |
