Drop Shoulder Guitar

     February 2004

"I made this guitar with contemporary players in mind. The neck is raised and joins the body at the 13th fret which, with a slightly lower action, allows the player rapid access to all areas of the fingerboard.

It is owned by the guitarist Hugh Burns who is a performing artist and session musician playing for, amongst others, George Michael."
