I built this guitar for a road trip that I did amongst the members of the Acousticlife Forum.
It has travelled the length and breadth of the country and has been played by a lot of fantastic plays, including Martin Simpson, Kris Drever, Matheu Watson and James Fagan.
If you would like to read some of their reviews and hear it being played here are some links.
There are lots more on the forum for you interest.

Here is what Martin Simpson had to say about it;
"I think that Rory Dowling is an excellent luthier. He is obviously influenced by Stefan Sobell, and I can think of no more marvellous a builder to use as your model. His attention to detail is excellent, his woodworking and finishing is of the best. This guitar was crisp and responsive. It was extremely strong in the treble with very good separation. I'm sure that Rory is on track to be one of Britain's most creative and successful guitar makers."
