Hi Darren I'm a bit behind with the list, but, just to let you know, I'm a guitar player too. I've been playing since I was 14 and have several acoustic guitars and an original '73 Tele Deluxe. I treated myself to a hand made guitar by Martin Cole for my 50th birthday. Martin calls it the "Nimbus" and basically it's a Martin & Co "J" model shape with cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides and plays and sounds beautifully.
Here's a link to Martin's Nimbus page. The guitar pictured isn't mine, but Martin has kindly included a sound clip of me playing my Nimbus with Fat Freddy's Cat. http://www.martincoleguitars.co.uk/nimbus.html There's a picture (Thanks to Chris Hevey) of me playing mine here: http://mitch.myzen.co.uk/PDML/IMG_4549.jpg Enjoy your guitar journey!
