Sound

This guitar is so versatile. It has a richness of sound and warmth of bass as well as having a wonderful clarity. It responds so well to being played gently as well as having incredible volume when played harder.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

The action is perfect and Nigel will set each guitar up to suit individual customers. The materials and craftsmanship are first rate ( perfectly bookmatched) and the thin glossy lacquer just finishes it off perfectly.
Reliability/Durability
:

I took delivery of my guitar last December (just before Christmas - thanks Nigel!) and I have had no troubles at all. It seems absolutely dependable. It comes with a lifetime warranty so you couldn't ask for more.

It has been a pleasure dealing with Nigel. He is so passionate and professional about making guitars and he insists on everything being just right for the customer. Each order really is tailor made to suit the customers requirements. He is just a phone call away and on his suggestion, he is checking over my model B this week.
Overall Rating
:
10
I have been playing guitars for years and have owned one or two guitars over the years but all of these have been factory made and bought from a music shop. This is my first experience of owning a handmade guitar and the difference is immense! This is a stunning guitar and is a joy to play - you just want to play more and more. Yes, his guitars are not cheap, but in my view it has been money well spent.
