Thread Name: Guitar Information: J.E.Vickers
Subject: Guitar Information: J.E.Vickers
Has anyone any information on a guitar I bought in the UK a couple of years ago? It's a hand-made nylon-strung acoustic model. The printed sticker inside says "Made by J.E.Vickers" and is signed John E. Vickers, 1966.

The only other information I have been able to find out is that J.E.Vickers made violin bows.

The tone and volume are affected by some body cracks, but it stays well in tune. I don't know the kind of wood it's made from, but the headstock has beautiful inlay.

Thanks

Norman
