"JWJ" - British made - anyone any hands on experience ?

bertie

Mrs Bert knowing Im on the lookout for something new/special, sent me this.........................   personally never heard of them but its got my interest up -

The "parlor"    wow, that is some lovely tone........if the 13th join is part of the reason (as well as the woods), then Im in

So - being so "new" obviously pricks the cautious button,  so anyone here had any hands on experience ?  Owning or merely playing ?

They are at The Guitar Show in March

I played one at the last guitar show that we did, and my brief experience indicates that these are very nice guitars at a a good price. I'd suggest going to a show and speaking to the man himself - very helpful and approachable sort of guy.

just checked and I see RIch will be at Bristol in April  - that a wee bit too far in the future really................ but.........................

Have heard of these. I think the bridge being moved down (like Gibson and Larrivee do) is the key bit - at least it looks like it is. Can't remember where I heard of them but heard good things

I emailed Rich yesterday and he came back to me within a few hours with good information/details, very accomodating and  -   massively competetive pricing

Looks like I'll have to wait until April !!   -  chance to save some more pennies I guess.................

I tried one at Knighton music shop - they sounded and played very well. I liked their paired down look.
looking at the build quality I was really impressed. We have some great uk guitar builders at the moment and jwj are up there
