Description:
As the name implies, this is a guitar built within the established tradition, but nevertheless, a living, evolving design of the present day. The decorations were inspired by the breath-taking artistry of the Book of Kells (4th to 5th century AD), while the internal design is that of a typical Spanish guitar of the beginning of the century. However, the interpretation is one of the late 20th century, through the use of constructional techniques and carbon-fibre reinforcement developed during work on "Series 88". It offers a unique character of sound, since the tone is evocative of a lost Spain, but the performance exceeds any instrument built during that period. The power and projection immediately suggest a totally modern instrument. This remains an extremely popular model and offers excellent value for money.
This series is used by a number of performers, teachers and composers, including Luke Dunlea (UK), Johnny Kristiansen (Norway), Brad Richter (USA), Lee Sollory (London Guitar Trio) and David Wood (France). |

I'll have to see how/when I could get down there. I teach every evening so is daytime convenient? Apart from that, how much would postage likely cost and would you accept payment through PayPal? Regards, Ivan |

The best thing would be to ring this number 01707 660675 tomorrow and ask for Gav. (mobile 0796 0324776)- not too early as I know he's got a late gig on tonight! I've put this ad in for his guitar. I know that daytime viewing would be possible though. Postage would be in the region of £25 and paying by paypal is also a possibility that can be discussed. |

Thanks for your reply.
Are there any dings, scratches or playing marks on the instrument? Does it have the original setup eg no filed down frets or repacement nut/saddle. Please comment on the playing action and also I'd be interested in the year of the guitar and whether it has the butterfly rosette.

No dings/scatches and is very clean overall. It does have replacement nut/saddle but the original ones have also been retained. No filing down of frets. Playing action is good. Re 'Butterfly rosette' the rosette is as shown on Trevor Semple's website under 'Celtic series'. Year 1997 I think, but confirm all of the above with Gav. on 01707 660675 |
