'I was just looking at the exhibitors at the London Acoustic Guitar show, and a similar guitar show in Bristol, and thinking it's a shame that, among the luthiers mentioned in this thread, only Lowden are exhibiting at either.

Hmmmm, makes me think someone should organise an annual acoustic guitar show solely for independent luthiers.'

You should have been at Acoustic Avalon in Leicester. Lots of brilliant luthiers. Had a nice chat to George Lowden, Patrick James Eggle, Paul Brett and others. It's on every year - give it a go!
