Gus Guitars and Calder Guitar Case

Had a great conversation today with Simon Farmer the man who designs and builds the very distinctive hi tech Gus Guitars - and in particular the G1 10 for which Simon has built a fabulous case which looks very like the Calder Case. He tells me he came up with his design about 8 years ago which in my book means he's a guy way ahead of the wave.

Excellent for me to find another human who's as passionate and geeky as I am about guitar cases and new materials. Simon hand builds all his guitars using space age materials like Kevlar and Carbon fibre. He's also designed a very elegant sounding locking system for his G1 10 case.
