I first met “Eva” at a guitar show near Sunderland… A short while later, Simon introduced me to her, so we sat on a chair at the end of the Cassidy stand and got acquainted. She was the most beautiful specimen I had ever laid my hands on, with her beautiful abalone inlays, “Tree of Knowledge” fretboard inlay, solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides. When she started singing it was as if the Lord himself were sat on her headstock controlling the tone.
