That was lovely.

That's got a great sound, Glenn. I wish I could get hold of one.

I have a couple of Maton electric guitars, and they have the best necks I've ever played.

Looks cool. I think Cole Clark guitars from Australia is some kinda offshoot from Maton, at least I remember hearing something like that. Cole Clark makes some fine Ricky like steels.

Glenn, Cole C ...
