    I don't have one but I've played guitars from his workshop (his and the 2A models) 

    What are you thinking of going for classical or flamenco?

    I think I would consider flamenco. It would have to be really fab to get me to prise open the wallet!!

    Ah, good to hear you are embracing the way of flamenco.  

    If you're looking for something a bit less than one of his guitars, I recommend checking out Graham Emes who built Stephen Hill's 2A's under his supervision for a while and has now set up his own workshop in Cornwall.  I've played a few of Graham's guitars and they are fantastic and well priced too. 

    Do you know what kind of flamenco you are after for scale and woods?

    That's interesting that Graham Emes is in Cornwall as that's where I live. Woods etc: not a clue but will have a good look round. Thanks

    Give Graham a call!  He's a cracking chap!

    If you can try one of his guitars at his workshop you'd get an idea to things.
