    About this ebook

    This is the rambling story about three guitar builds and one vintage guitar. Set variously in Australia and Singapore, it is unlikely to appeal to anyone other than devoted guitar nerds. And even then, they would have to be devoted guitar nerds with nothing better to do with their time.

    It contains some words, lots of photographs and buckets of enthusiasm.

    It is nicely written, I will give it that, as if that means anything to many people these days.

    So – in summary – a nicely written book, heaps of photos and an enthusiastic style. And since it’s an e-Book, no trees were killed in the making of this book. Oh, hold on just a second ...
