Thanks Bill. 🙂 I used the guitar for a full gig at PrestFest 2024 on Sunday (where Bill saw me) and then up to Glasgow for Sammy’s Open Mic at the Glad Cafe. It certainly does a lot of the… Read more»

Work on the laminated semi-hollowbody continues. Following @tv101 ’s lead I’ve been applying Liberon Easy French Polish. Probably because it’s so easy, it comes with little specific instruction compared to the extended series of 12 step Youtube videos on normal… Read more»
