Before entering this site, please be aware: -

This site was started in 2001 and designed around the old 800 x 600 format - and more importantly, for Internet Explorer so if you are using Google Chrome, for example, many of the pages which contain applets probably won't display properly - likewise some overlays and tables might well look a wee bit odd - which is a shame but it would take far too much of my precious time to completely re-design it all, so tough.

My name is Steve Acworth and I live in the very beautiful Wales U.K. Retired from a long career as a guitar maker and service mechanic, I still play and record music, paint and build experimental guitars, mainly for my own amusement. Most of the stuff herein is quite old, as of 2009 but I am currently designing a huge new section to abridge and fill in the details of the past 5 years, so come back soon.

Things can only get better; there's a huge amount of guitar work, music and art to add...
