I happen to be back in Cornwall this weekend and can grab a Species 2 model for not a lot of money while I’m here, worth a look do we think? I can’t remember the last time I’d have spent so little on a guitar if so...!

'Brocklebank has played guitar since 1983, and clearly states his career goal, “The UK doesn’t seem to produce great rock guitar players any more.

Something must be done and in a humble way I’m flying the flag. It would be great to be seen as someone who reversed the trend of the last decade or so' http://www.rotosound.com/neil-brocklebank/

I’ve still got a copy of his ‘Audio Violence’ album somewhere. Saw him at a guitar show back in the 90’s

LOL. Who the fuck is that? 

I wonder if he's a relative of Hector Brocklebank?
 (for those not familiar with the name, I'd suggest a google/youtube search for some entertainment)

Yeah, but I have a soft spot for Explorers & Mockingbirds, as well as “shape” guitars in general! Looks like it’s not gonna happen this time around, I’ll keep an eye out for one closer to home though methinks.
