[Michael Watts]

So, I’m back in the UK, still slightly jet-lagged after a long trip home. This year’s Montreal Guitar Show has been an absolutely fantastic experience on so many levels and in this “report” I’ll attempt to share with you some of the sights and sounds that I experienced over the weekend.

Sunrise on Day 1



Playing the new "Andamento" modified dreadnought by Ervin Somogyi



Enjoying a Modified Dreadnought (Madrose/Italian) by Jason Kostal





Checking out the new Greenfield G1 DADGAD model at Mike's shop (Malaysian blackwood/lutz) built for Tony McManus

With Brent McElroy and his good lady, I really enjoyed playing his "neoteric" model



The back of the new "Andamento" modified dreadnought by Ervin Somogyi in flamed maple.



And finally, here's a video of me warming up for the Somogyi mini-concert the following day. I'm playing the new Andamento pictured above which is a truly astonishing guitar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju96BHsY5EI
