Thanks for all that information - I've always wondered about George. Although I don't play guitar much these days this particular instrument has great sentimental value.

I hadn't really thought of selling it. I've no idea what it's worth now - I gave £70 for it in 1972 (I bought it out of Arthur Hunt's North Street shop as a commission sale)- quite a lot of money then - but it certainly earned its keep and owes me nothing. Although I really wanted to be Django, I used it chiefly for playing old-time american stuff accompanying fiddle and banjo in a Charlie Poole inspired band.

If I decide to let it go I'll post a message here.

Thanks again all.
