the  Jeremy  Broun  Woodsite                 guitar making   

Making an acoustic guitar embodies a variety of timbers and fashioning techniques with the added "buzz" of striving for an excellent sound. I made twelve acoustic guitars in the 60`s and 70`s. This one, I took to the Bristol Guitar Centre in 1970 for a valuation. The principal handed me another guitar. He said `The difference between this one and yours is that Django Reinhardt played this one` !

Since 2002 my interest in making guitars has been re-kindled and I am building some innovative guitars and creating a DVD on how to build an acoustic guitar.
