Just taken delivery of Ian Chisholm's 52nd piece of instrumental artwork.

A lovely guitar with Ziricote back and sides, a "scoop" rather than a cutaway and a really lovely sound. Great action, superb neck and fabulous looks.

I'm so happy with it!

He fitted a K & K Pure Mini passive acoustic pickup to it. I played it through a PA with no preamp last night and it sounded just superb....full acoustic "timbre" with none of the "quacking" or "tinny-ness" you can sometimes get from under-saddle piezo jobs....probably because it's picking up from the soundboard as well as the strings?

Played at an open mic tonight and I don't know if it was the confidence of the new guitar or what, but I think I played the best set I've ever done....judging from the olume of applause. Two of my songs actually got whoops and cheers!

It sounded great at the White Horse this evening, Rob - very nice indeed! And it certainly helped your performance as well - great purchase.
