A few hours in with this one and signs are it is really something very very special.

As ever, absolutely first rate service from Michael and Ben at TNAG in London.

The case is a bit special too...

I was impressed by the 2017 NAMM. Out with the Relics as well as the same ol' same o. Luthiers are presenting colors, style/design, and combinations of exotic woods like never before. It doesn't take much to add some flair and style, and this guitar and case deliver all.

I played that one at the NAMM show. It was hard to tell what it sounded like in the din of the exhibition hall, but it certainly felt good and that rosewood is fabulous.

Stunning instrument. Jason's guitars are huge sounding and this is a most amazing looking example. Congrats.

I live less than an hour from his shop. I am afraid to go there.



Really impressive work he does.

I am sure Michael Watts (who many of you will know as a frequenter of this forum) would welcome you in. Make sure you go to the new shop - they have moved across London.

In fact Michael has the first MDW and the video posted earlier in the thread describes his input into the development.
