Caparison? If I lived in Cardiff Iād be able to try one, if they had one in stock!
He lives in LA now and the Cardiff music shop (Cranes) has closed, as has the Swansea one.
Iād have thought theyād have had stockists in London but apparently not.
Canāt say Iām keen on the point headstock, getting beyond that theyāre some good looking instruments.
How did it go? 
Errā¦ still at the contemplating removal of digit stageā¦

Went to see The Felice Brothers last night
Ian Felice is a very talented guitarist but I donāt think I have ever seen a more battered guitar

Rory Gallagherās Strat is a bit battered !
Ahem, I think youāll find thatās patina 
Fender charge big money to make brand new guitars with relicing like that.
I donāt get why youād want a new guitar to look totally old and fucked for Ā£3k+, even so thereās a big market for it.
I get the feeling that Ian Feliceās guitar is real rather than āprofessionally distressedā
A fender Strat is one thing, I doubt there is much of a market to distress a single pick up semi-acoustic that no one has heard of.
(Although the fact that I have never heard of Guild guitars doesnāt mean much as I am not a player, but I have seen a lot of bands and this is a new one on me)
I have never heard of Guild either, but just reading up about them, they have quite a hstory.

Guild are very well known for acoustic guitars. Maybe not to non guitarists though.
