If you ever come to Australia, check out Chris Ffinch in Melbourne. Easy to find in the phone book as there are not many double f's. Last I saw, he was working at Soundworks in Ringwood. He used to be a designer for Maton guitars and the guitar I use the most was the prototype for a model that was later called the Messiah. I love it. He also does the best repairs. My Stewart banjo got broken right through the enhgraving on the heel, a really messy break. When I got it back from Chris, I couldn't see where the damage had been. He doesn't make many guitares so they tend to be really sought after.
