New 'Skeleton' Guitar
Gary has recently designed the first prototype of his new 'Skeleton' guitar. This model features a solid, framework body supporting a normal Gary Hearn neck. Fitted with an under saddle pickup, the guitar is currently being tested under live conditions by Richard Durrant... Initial reactions is that the guitar is fabulous! We will be featuring it on the Models page soon - in the meantime you can see a sneak preview of Richard using it on stage in the top left photo

Richard Durrant plays with the RPO
On Sunday 24th June 2007 Richard played with the RPO at The Music Park, Stanmer Park, Brighton, with an exclusive screening of the recently premiered In Search of Mozart accompanied by a talk from Phil Grabsky. Richard appeared appearing as special guest soloist with the Royal Phil to perform the middle movement of Rodrigo’s famous “Aranjuez” guitar concerto as well as the ever popular "Cavatina" by Stanley Myers (better known as The Deer Hunter theme). See some photos of the event on the Gallery page.
