This model made it's debut at the first Acoustic Guitar Show at Cheltenham in September 2007. It's the same body as Samhain but a shorter scale length with 13 frets clear of the body. This makes a great compact guitar with slacker string tension, and sweet trebles. The guitar still works very well in dropped tunings using light gauge strings and is a good all-rounder - fingerpicked and strummed. You can listen to some recordings of me playing in DADGAD tuning on my daughter's European Spruce/Black Limba "Samhain Cheltenham" (pictured above) by clicking on the highlighted links. The first two are Ed Boyd arrangements of Niall Vallely's "Long Nancy's" and two Breton Ridés that I called "The Devil Ridés Out" and finally Martin Simpson's stunning arrangement of Lennon/McCartney's "With a Little Help From My Friends".
