There’s a magical quality about the guitar – a wonderful malleability and versatility as object, tool and statement.  It’s a curvaceous canvas, readymade for handling, swinging, stroking, beating and fingering, for making noise and dreaming up songs.  Making a guitar can be easy and simple or staggeringly difficult and elaborate – it’s expression and vehicle all rolled into one portable package, embodied and molded into as many incarnations and interpretations as there are builders.
