Trained as a lettering artist and stencil cutter , before computers obsoleted those skills (!), I worked in the silk screen industry. In 1972 my hobby (guitar making) turned into a career & I became an electric guitar specialist technician, working for many top bands and world-class musicians (like Jeff Beck and Hank Marvin). Playing as a session musician, arranger, writer and producer ran parallel to this and millions of people know my (completely anonymous) voice through an extensive catalogue of humorous national commercial radio jingles. Now retired & living in Aberaeron, Wales, I paint, run a domestic recording studio and maintain a web site devoted to sonoluminescence. Now there's the tiles, too... If you can't understand the machine described in these pages then you haven't read it through properly. Simple as that. It's all there and as far as I'm concerned it works. Now there's an open request / challenge to be shot down in flames; go for it !! guitars plastic acoustic guitars
