Send us a textI'm going to try this again!I'm going to be doing a series on my own guitars, just a bit of a chat about them, then me playing them.  To kick off I'm going to look at my lates 60's-ish Audition electric guitar.  Made in Japan, on paper it should be terrible, but it's one of my favourite ever guitars. :-)  You can watch this episode on Youtube too - Youtube.com/@bensmithguitarSupport the showInstagram.com/bensmithguitarFacebook.com/bensmithguitar
