It Really Exists

I just thought I'd post these two pics of the amazing guitar that Davy Stuart is making me. Yep, this is the one that I've been on about for many years now (I'm an oddly patient person when it comes to this guitar. I figure it'll be ready when it wants to be ready). Davy is the genius behind my two tunable bodhráns and Mannie's sublime bouzouki, and makes instruments for the likes of Donal Lunny, Andy Irvine, Christy Moore and Trevor Hutchinson.

Anyway, it's a spruce small-bodied steel string with an English walnut back and sides, and the back really is something special. As Davy says, the pictures don't really do it justice.

As much as I am Mr Cool Cucumber Patient Man, I must admit my fingers are tingling in expectation!

(As I wee side note, I'm in the process of building a page for our instruments, as we seem to get quite a lot of emails asking after them).
