My name is Steve Acworth and I live in the very beautiful Wales U.K. Retired from a long career as a guitar maker and service mechanic, I still play and record music, paint with oils and build experimental guitars, mainly for my own amusement. Since late 2008, I have been recording with the very lovely Bernadette Duprat (Bernie), as the duo "Trouble" and here are some of our tracks...

For many years, folks have pressured me to write a book and I have decided to make a start here. So here are the relevant bits; - Excerpts from the book: - "String" by Steven R. M. Acworth copyright 2006.

Alternative titles: - "Guitars to The Stars" & "The other side of the Screwdriver"

Also for your pleasure is my old maze of a website (from '03/'04) full of hidden delights which include my 'musical back catalogue', information on Sonoluminescence and my theory which are all viewable/listenable via this link:

(website inside is currently under construction; please be patient and if any internal links to music or pages are broken then please pray or probably better cross your fingers and it may well work next time you try next week hopefully)
