Nick makes guitars for lots of pros including Mike Dawes and Newton Faulkner. 

Worth a watch. 

Any owners of Benjamin Guitars or experiences playing them?

Nick is a top bloke too AND there are a number of pubs close by - What more can you ask for!? I was very close to buying a prototype he made (different tone woods for both the back and the sides) but it went to a friend/family before I could get the cash together. If you ever see one for sale, definitely at least go for a look, just so you know
