Wow!

Beautiful guitars. I really liked this inspirational message posted on the site.

"In every Handmade Guitar lies the Soul of its Maker. So what's the Soul and who's the Maker. You'd have to follow the trail that leads to its Source. Along that trail you'll find the hands that built the Guitar, then the wood that grew to make the Instrument, a step further back you'll find the hand that sewed the seed that supplied the wood, attached to that you'll find the Maker. Once you've found the Maker, you've found the Soul. If you are going to play a Handmade Guitar, chances are that you're going to take an audience on a Journey.

If at the conclusion of your Music the audience has fully experienced that Journey, you'll know that your playing has been touched by the Soul of the Maker".

A couple of days late, (without computer access) but belated best wishes to all the blokes here down under.

Hope you've all had a good one this weekend, with just a few tinnies!

Very nice guitars, Eden. Some of those headstocks are very much like Larrivees.

I wonder when they will outlaw Australia day as being racist or somthing?

emac. (who is not racist)

Just imagine the havoc when the "sorry" saga continues!!
.....Now, back to guitars.......

A little bit of Australiana for you Northern Hemisphere folks.

This is RnR.....

Look for the Melbourne streetscape, Eminar Amps, the non plussed locals and the Bagpipes, what more could you want?
