Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the Romanillos videos, I found them fascinating and really quite moving.

It's true, compared to some of the instruments Thierry has made, (or indeed is making at the monent!) this is quite "reigned in". I should say that while it's a collaboration, Thierry gets final veto about any of our ideas, it is his guitar after all!

A fun and original one to follow, looking forward to its development.

Thank you Tom! I have to sat that this project is a world away from working with Jason Kostal for my signature model. The primary factor being that I'm fairly confident I know what I'm talking about when it comes to flat-top acoustic guitars and specifically in the context of Jason's work.

Thierry is an artistic outlier in every positive sense of the word and that's why the offer to collaborate with him on this instrument was too good to pass up - I've always felt that if I'm not learning I'm stagnating and this was a wonderful opportunity for learning.
