Fourteen-year GAL member, amateur classical guitarist, and retired family physician Geoff Needham lives near Hadrian’s Wall in Northeast England. He decided to make a guitar in 2004, believing he could not afford to buy a fine classical instrument. He now realizes that he could have bought several fine guitars with the money he has spent on lutherie. He has completed scores of classical guitars and has a special interest in building with nontropical woods.
