Jon’s new bit of guitar gear is up in the “Gear” section.

It’s a square neck acoustic made by Roberto-Venn guitar building instructor and all round top bloke Don Windham under his Haymaker brand. A pretty damn fine looking piece of kit with name of Jon’s good lady wife inlaid into the fretboard.

If you head on over to The Gretsch Pages you can check out Jon’s number one guitar go to guy and Gretschmeister Tommy Connell jamming at Winter NAMM with Gretsch guitar endorsee Bobby Gibson.

There’s a bunch of pictures of Tommy in action along with an MP3 download of Tom and Bob playing the Cole Porter classic “Begin the Beguine”. There all also some great MP3 downloads of Bobby playing.
