A VERY UNIQUE GUITAR
An SOS fundraising group of ex-armed forces servicemen based here in Pattaya are raffling a ‘one off’ unique guitar that has been specially made to commemorate 100 years of the British Royal Air Force for the armed forces charity SSAFA . Designed and built here in Thailand by a non-guitar player, former British army veteran, Stephen Brown, the SOS team visited Classroom Music Lounge in Pattaya to ask Barry Upton to attempt to play it in a live situation for the very first time so they could film it actually being played and hear how it sounded.
Barry, indeed, not only played it for a couple of songs, but a whole set as he was so impressed with the comfort factor, sound and playability.
The RAF style look of the instrument is complimented by the signature of world famous guitar superstar Jeff Beck on the back, the combination of Jeff and Barry now making it a highly valuable commodity. (Barry Upton’s little joke there)
Contact Arthur Campbell on Facebook page ‘SOS Club & Friends Thailand’ for raffle tickets or see him personally at Classroom Music Lounge every Thursday evening.
The draw will be held in Kanchanaburi on Sunday 11th November.
