Two very special guitars are now on Ebay to raise funds for Rob Armstrong.
The first, a David Hodson Tenor Guitar custom made for Gordon Giltrap in 2004
This custom built guitar, made by sadly deceased UK guitar luthier David Hodson, has been kindly donated by Gordon Giltrap, with approval from David's widow, to Acoustic Magazine (www.acousticmagazine.com). This is to raise funds for British luthier Rob Armstrong.
Unfortunately, Rob's workshop and all his tools were lost in a fire, leaving his life's work in ruins. We are proud to offer this rare guitar for sale. David Hodson is most famous for making exquisite Selmer Maccaferri-style guitars so this is a true one off, made specifically for Gordon Giltrap.
Acoustic Magazine is proud to be Auctioning this extremely rare guitar. You will never get the chance to own or buy one of these anywhere else. This guitar was a special gift made specifically for Gordon Giltrap, and would make an excellent investment.

the second, a Vintage Gordon Giltrap Signature Guitar VE2000GG - BRAND NEW
This guitar has been offered for auction by John Hornby Skewes and was arranged by Gordon Giltrap himself.
The guitar was reviewed in issue 48 by David Mead (former editor of Guitarist and Guitar Techniques and author of numerous of books on the guitar) who gave it a FIVE STAR rating and described it in the following way:
"Top luthier design, superior build quality and great sound don't come along too often in this price range!"
In fact David was so impressed by the guitar he purchased the review instrument directly from John Hornby Skewes.
These guitars have currently sold out in the UK, so here is the perfect chance to get one !
