It is! In fact I will have to sell two lutes and a guitar to pay for this one! I'm trying to downscale the number of instruments I play - as I get older, I'm finding less energy and time to play all the instruments I do play. This guitar will cover all my guitar music and all my lute music. So, three or four go out, and one comes in. That's the plan.
The luthier, Michael Gee of Earls Barton, Northamptonshire, Engerland, has a waiting list, hence the delay.
BTW, I just got a film back, and it has confirmed my fear - I can no longer take a half-decent photograph!
