Six guitars and nine mandolins this time!
Mandolin news.
Only one new mandolin in but it is the amazing Collings MF, all the great sound of the MF5 at £2500 less! For those who like their mandolin a little larger we have two octave mandolin / mandolas from Garrison. With 20" scale lengths they can be tuned either way. With all solid woods and a hardshel case they are incredible value. Garrison mandolin expected soon.

The Gibson F4 that came in last time has gone but we've got no less than six vintage/used mandolins arrived. We have an as new example of my fave electro at £130 off our (very competitive) new price, and a player's Gibson A50. There's an octave mandolin from Oakwood, we've never had so many octave mandolins in stock, six different models at the time of writing. Also two very interesting oldies, a Weyman/Wurlitzer mando lute and a La Foley dinky think that has plenty of voice. Talking of voice come and see (and hear) our Rigel reso, there's always something very exciting going on here and in the mando world in general. I think this might be the only such beastie in the UK. I expect someone will tell me if I am wrong.
Guitar news.
David Webber’s guitars have arrived at last. His combination of using machines for the tedious and repetitious work that doesn’t benefit from the attention of the luthier, and years of experience put into top tuning bracing and neck fitting, among other things, that the experienced eye and hand can do best produces some incredible value guitars. James Goodall’s Traditional Dreadnought and Standard are both back in stock, the Trad OM sold recently so we now have seven Goodall’s on the wall. A Collings OM1 is also in, Brook stock is diminishing, but there’s a great value used rosewood Taw with fishman.
| Goodall Standard Sitka/Rosewood | Guitar | £2795 |
| Goodall Traditional Dreadnought Rosewood/Bearclaw | Guitar | £2995 |
| David Webber OOO | Guitar | £1695 |
| David Webber OM | Guitar | £1495 |
| Collings OM1 | Guitar | £2495 |
The two Phoenix's are due at the end of the month, five Webers in August and I'm hoping to be getting another of my favourite Gibson A3 whitefaces shortly, I'm also angling for a snakehead. Watch this space for neither, one or both on the next download.
Happy pickin'
