I had the immense pleasure of meeting Dermot in his workshop a few weeks ago and seeing what makes his guitars so special. I played a couple of them and I've never played anything better. He's a very charming guy and you can tell that he puts a lot of love and creativity into his guitar making. That extra bit of attention and invention pays off in the amazing sound of the guitars!
@TomRAFC its a japanese carving knife, they have a very long, narrow and thin blade with a bevel on both sides, so it really is perfect for carving areas like the "volute".
I have recently bought an A20c, which must be one of the best accoustic instruments on the face of the planet, & is totally inspirational. Many thanks Dermot.
A great video! Dermot's passion for guitar making really comes through. I've owned one of his A25s for around 10 months now and it's tone, dynamics and playability are absolutely second to none.
Dermot McIlroy makes some of the finest guitars on the planet... his artistry and workmanship are simply top shelf! I have had #111 for five years now and I haven't found its equal yet. Twelve out fourteen of the tracks from my CD Borderline Normal were recorded with My AJ25c.
