Findlay Napier's Guitar

Findlay came to us via Megan Henwood, and their mutual project "Story Song Scientists". We have a lot of friends in common, and I was really pleased to be asked to make this guitar. It's unusual in various ways; first of course, it's an Ariel body, but with a 14-fret neck, a combination of comfort and convenience. Findlay was keen to keep the guitar eco-friendly, so the back and sides are Claro Walnut, but grown in England, the top is windfall Cedar, the neck is reclaimed mahogany from an old wardrobe, laminated with black lines and the fingerboard, bridge and bindings are "Rocklite".
