Best classified ad string I’ve ever seen. This from a guy who grew up with the Cleavers.
I really wish I was in the market. GLWS. rb |

Can’t believe this hasn’t sold! My Brook Taw custom is one of the best Guitars I have owned. It came with a fantastic low action and great sound. I haven’t had to adjust it in the three or four years that I’ve owned it. Beautifully built!
Best of luck Steve. Warren |

I bought a Torridge in April, here on AGF. I couldn’t be happier. Mine has Walnut B&S and sounds great! I imagine Mahogany B&S would sound every bit as nice, though different of course. Aside from tone and response, the feel is perfect, for me at least, and the build impeccable. I can’t recommend a Brook Torridge enough.

Hoping this little beauty is on the way to a new home. The ones I have played were just great. If not, maybe it’s time to bring out heavy hitter Eddie Haskell, or at least Lumpy Rutherford. Long winded bump.

Brook
I owned this guitar for several years, and would still, if not for my insane all mahogany GAS. It has absolutely beautiful tone and amazing sustain for its size. Not to mention that the Englemann top has gorgeous silking and color and the mahogany back and sides are stunning. It's a very very cool guitar.

Where abouts are you in Oregon? I just bought a home there by the western border of CA.
I may be interested after the move if still around. |

I love Brook guitars and the Torridge in particular. If I could have more guitars, this one would be at the top of my list.

I really can NOT believe that this excellent instrument is still here!
The Torridge is a top-notch guitar, hand-built by superb craftsmen in a small (three-man) boutique shop in Devon, UK. Beautiful clarity of sound, fantastic finger-style guitars. Check out the Brook website... https://www.brookguitars.com/ And here's a Torridge in the hands of a very nice player...the third guitar in the demo:- https://youtu.be/b5yqMmsISRE

Great seller here
Buy with confidence. I have dealt with Stevien on a couple transactions and have found him to be a high character person.
Im not familiar with Brook guitars but, I know Steve has a good ear.
