Hi I'm Graham

Post by Graham W » Thu Oct 25, 2007 1:51 pm

Hi, I'm Graham Wardrop living, playing and building guitars in Christchurch New Zealand. Yes, I have to admit that I'm a 'guitaraholic' and that not a day goes by that I don't either play, write, record, build, meditate or all of the above, on guitars and music. I make my living playing, but love to build guitars when I have time at home.

I have a website <http> which will fill you in on my history and music - most of my CDs are recorded on instruments that I have built and are available for both physical sale and for down load on iTunes via the site. There are some soundbites on the site so you can hear the sound of what I'm building.

I was introduced to the forum by Craig Lawrence an ex Dunedin musician like myself.

I hope I can be of value the forum and I look forward to sharing info and ideas.

Cheers

Graham

Welcome aboard Graham. I was looking at your website this morning. Looks like you make some nice instruments. I particularly like the pic of your workshop.

Welcome Graham !,
Great to have you with us . Your instruments look incredibly good . I was just listening to the sound samples on your site and find they sound as good as they look ,,,,,at least !

You must be one of the finest guitarists I've ever heard . Wow !

I can see all those tips I gave you many years ago ,have helped you out huh? :wink: That's a joke folks . For the amount of years I've been playing , I'm surprisingly average.

What are you up to in the workshop at the moment ? Would be great to get some pics



Cheers , Craig
