Driving back from the station, I tuned in to this evenings broadcast of BBC
Radio 3 ‘In Tune’  just in time to hear a chap named Richard Durrant describing
his guitar.  Made with bog oak - 5,000 years old.

Naturally, with our guitar builders in mind, I tracked down the broadcast on the
‘net, and some photos

He also said something about their being carbon fibre in it, and it having a
floating neck.   I have no idea what all that would do, But I thought I may know
someone who does.
