Hmm, it's elegant if you ignore the pointless extra holes drilled in the top and plugged with grommets, the preamp that does nothing and the big hunk of end-grain scrap wood secured with honking great screws through the back!

Oi! You're not allowed to advertise the work of this particular ... erm ... craftsman.

Still, it makes a change from butchered 7-string guitars.

Reckon this thing feeds back much?

Thanks Jack - I wasn't sure whether it was, the now infamous, Mr Phillips - he would normally appear with each of his creations.

Does that apply to him or this instrument?

What was the reason for us not mentioning this master craftsman?

One day, we were ticking along nicely, reviewing his 'elegant work', then suddenly he was off limits

[/quote] It went way over the top. I like a good laugh, but when someone said he looked like a Paedophile, it went, way past a joke

Oh dear , I must've missed that bit . Shame , as I used to enjoy the 'reviews' .
