Classical guitar
Since my return from a two month trip of Europe, I have been researching the works of classical guitar makers, in particular the great Spanish maker Ignacio Fleta and Australia's own Richard Howell.
I'm currently in the process of building two classical guitars which will debut at the Melbourne Guitar Makers Festival later this year.
