When I went to see Martin Simpson a couple of years ago I got a chat with him after the show. He was playing Sobells at the time. He shows me the Simpson signature model and says "you can have one like this. Phone Stefan and tell him you want one and mention my name. Eight thousand pounds!"
Some guys are born jokers.
Ja especially since he probably didn't pay for his....
My understanding is that for signature model acoustics the endorser gets all the prototypes - which would include the one which he deems to be OK. And, of course, a commission on the sales. Simpson's done at least 3 signature deals - the latest being with PRS.
Those Sobells are magnificent - there's a youtube video of Darrell Scott playing one of his OM's on one of his Crooked road recordings - check it out - good stuff.
Oh. Every time I see Darrell Scott playing acoustic it's a Taylor.
Yes.... very nice instruments. And interesting too. They've a slightly arched back and top, despite there being a hole in the middle.
