If any of you guys ever venture as far north as Newcastle upon Tyne, check out The Guitar Shop in Old George Yard (just off the notorious Bigg Market). In the main room downstairs you will find Brian - the friendly and knowledgeable proprietor - and some excellent acoustic instruments. Upstairs (access by invitation, serious customers only)there are some even more remarkable axes. I've loved both the guitars I bought there. My son bought one too, which he still seems very happy with. If you're not ready to buy, and not entirely sure what you want (or need), Brian's advice is always helpful. And if your instrument ever gives you bother, he will either fix it himself, or point you towards someone who can. Wassail!
