Bluesmike Your 'dream' instrument, $ not a factor (64* d) RE: Your 'dream' instrument, $ not a factor 22 Dec 02


There is aluthier in Sydney Oz named Gerard Gilet who has been makingfine guitars for many years. He watches you play different guitars he has made, takes a good long look at your hands and the style you play. The ONLY guitar I would cheerfully swap m,y old Martin HD28 for is a Gilet made just for me.

Gerard rebuilt an old 1957 Maton Electro supreme for me many years ago and undercharged me. he recently did a bunch of work on my Martin and same story. I once watched him stick atiny spokeshave on the end of a stick and using a dentists mirror he sculpted the inside of a Martin to get it to sound right. In 30 years I have never played a finer guitar.
