David builds some of the most unique and impressive guitars I have seen in my 44 years as a luthier. His workmanship is impeccable, and the guitars are simply superb. I hope and trust that as he deals with medical issues, he will still continue to make some of his outstanding instruments. Simply put, they are to be coveted.

14th Fret Neck join Real wood Auditorium (SOLD)

I've decided to make an auditorium acoustic with a flat head stock in recent weeks. I normally go for the slotted head as it gives a better break angle over the nut. This method is a more time-consuming option though, and therefore more costly to make and that obviously has to be passed on to you, the customer.

Along with this I am going to make this instrument a little less decorative than I normally would, also bringing down the cost. One thing you can be sure of is that I won't be compromising the tone! I'm setting the price at £2500.00. I should be finished this one in four weeks or so, so give me a shout then if you'd like to see how it turns out; or, drop me a line and you could see the work in progress if you fancy! SOLD
