🎸AUDEN NEO 45 CHESTER ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC🎸

 

This is an absolute beauty! Setup in the UK and with an impressive spec, this sounds as good as it looks. It’s a 2023 model with just one chip to the front and the usual signs of use/play but generally very well cared for (see all photos)



" This totally wonderful creation is hand made by a small workshop (a team of 9 men) in China with final setup & electronics fitted in the Gordon Smith workshop in Northampton"



Full spec and description can be found below- please do read on, it’s worth it!

There are so many wonderful things to say about this guitar but the first isn't going to be about the guitar. It is about the man behind it - Doug Sparkes.

 

My hope is that I can raise awareness of such an important factor when buying any product around the World.

 

Doug has a wonderful humanitarian spirit. I have seen the most shocking photos - demonstrating the risks to health that workers in China are exposed to. These workers are building some of the guitars you see every day in music shops around the World.

 

Doug has a workshop in the UK which you can visit via appointment, his workshop in China is literally as clean, well managed and SAFE as his UK workshop. I have been overwhelmed by Dougs unique and very personal approach to his staff and ethos towards life.

 

OK - so what about the guitar?!!!!!!!!

 

IT IS UTTERLY WONDERFUL!!!

 

All this talk is only of any value to you if the actual product is worth looking at right?

 

I have taken as many pictures as possible to show the detail that has gone into this guitar.

 

The Chester is a cross breed with a lower bout a little more like a dreadnought and the upper bought more like an OM - the result is an attractive design with wide range of tones capable of full bodied strumming whist also handling fingerstyle too.

 

A gig bag is included too at this price.

A word from the workshop……

 

If you are looking for a wonderful character acoustic that looks beautiful, sounds wonderful and represents something deeper than "just" a selfish transaction this is the guitar to buy. You will be supporting the rights of workers in China - helping a wonderful cancer charity here in the UK and receiving an incredible - benchmark leading guitar setup to perfection in our workshop.
