Daylia...

Hi to Peter Cox from me too. He'll know me as the instrument guy at the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival. There are more than a few of his instruments around here because of his regular displays, though I've yet to spring for one. I like his funky offbeat designs, solid woods, and personal attention.

Glen Reid (have we mentioned him yet?) makes some lovely guitars, and there was recently one secondhand on the 12th Fret website.

Grubby mentioned Ted Thompson and I concur...great guitars. A good friend has a mahogany one which sounded so mature when it was brand new that you'd swear you were playing a 30 year old instrument! I've heard rumours that his production is on again and off again, but I don't have that on authority.

I'm saving my pennies again for another instrument, so I'm trying to keep current. At the moment I like the look of the hotrodded Regal resonators that Folkway music in Guelph is promoting.

So many guitars, so little time indeed.

Peace, Mooh.
