This is the most recent of the guitars that we made for Chris Difford. It featured in the newsletter in December 2022.

Chris has asked about a new version with a solid headstock and this one came back to me via another professional artist and a well known collector.

It's an exquisite instrument. I do wish we had time to do more work like this. It's a “one off “ shape, just a little wider than a Goodfellow, and with a 629mm scale length.

Exotic Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, honey coloured Cedar soundboard. Abalone shell inlay around the edge and round the soundhole. Abalone diamond Fingerboard inlays. Abalone centre strip on back. Rosewood bindings with red lines. Gotoh 510 tuners.

The neck is a lot slimmer than we usually make, at only 43mm wide, but that's exactly what some players need. It's laminated from Ebony, Maple and Mahogany and even though it's slim it's beautifully comfortable to play.

We originally fitted a Baggs Anthem pickup which has been removed, we can refit it if needed. This beautiful guitar is in almost perfect condition.

I'd love to take it to Ullapool in October but it does need to be sold,

Offers in the region of £10,000.
