The Gloucester (Gloster) is my latest acoustic guitar, designed and built as a result of my work with Ken Parker. Like him, I try to bring the tradition of jazz acoustic guitars with table vault and the contemporary design put at the service of ergonomics and sound efficiency.
This first acoustic version carries the nickname of Buddha, as a nod to my friend Ken!
