Since a very young age guitars have excited me. The sound of an electric guitar is what first got my interest - from hearing The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks and The Who etc. on the radio when I was very young, to discovering and immersing myself into the sounds of T.Rex, David Bowie and Slade when I was a bit older and had the pocket money to go out and buy records.
I would spend hours looking in guitar shop windows studying what was on display. The combination of shapes, controls, hardware and how these things made such an alluring sound was totally captivating to my young mind - and still is. A short while later I got my first guitar ( a cheap Spanish guitar) and so began my journey into playing music and becoming a guitar geek.
Recently I decided to photograph some of the wonderful vintage guitars that I have been fortunate enough to own over the years. Chris Vinnicombe at Guitar magazine liked the pictures enough to decide to run a feature which has just gone out. If you want to have a look you can see it here.
