'An out of hand hobby'

Hello and welcome to my new guitar site. I had the idea of doing this site not as a selling platform but just as it might appeal and encourage fellow guitar “enthusiasts” and just really to share a personal hobby.

It wouldn’t have happened at all without the great help of Eliot who recent re designed my work web site and put together all the various bits involved.
