The stringed instrument part of the instrument collection of Andrew Charman-Williams. In addition he has keyboards, drums/percussion, harmonicas, tin whistles, saxophones and other instruments.
The Eastwood Classic Tenor is an electric tenor guitar with a semi-hollow body and two humbucker pickups. Like tenor banjos tenor guitars can be strung and tuned in different ways including the fifths tunings CGDA and GDAE/GDAD or Chicago tuning DGBE. This is currently in 5ths tuning.
Breakneck bowl lute which is an 8 course renaissance lute made in Pakistan. Renaissance lutes generally had between 6 and 8 courses with the highest course being a single course and the rest double with the lower courses often strung in octave pairs.
PRS SE Paul’s Guitar electric guitar. Stoptail bridge, TCI “S” pickups with coil-split, 635mm (25″) scale.
Ibanez RGT1221PB electric guitar with hardtail bridge, DiMarzio Air Norton and The Tone Zone pickups, neck-through Wizard III neck.
Katoh Alex/CS classical guitar which is a modern interpretation of some 19th century style guitars. It is a small body guitar with spruce top and rosewood back/sides.
Anuenue S20 Featherbird Classical Guitalele with pickup. Guitaleles are a hybrid between guitars and ukuleles with some being more like a ukulele with six strings and others a short scale classical guitar. This one probably leans more towards being a short scale guitar.
Andrew has a fairly extensive collection of musical instruments, predominantly string instruments. The major categories these are grouped by are:
Acoustic Guitars
Bass Guitars
Electric Guitars
Mandolin family
Ukuleles
Banjos
Dulcimers
Violin family
Other Instruments
Epiphone SG Special. Currently has a broken nut so I will need to replace that.
Fender 50th Anniversary American Deluxe Stratocaster. One of a few instruments with a broken string or needing restringing- have to have a restringing session soon. One of the positions of the switch has stopped working so I will need to investigate that as well. Luckily with plenty of alternatives when I break a string I pick a different guitar.
This was my second ever guitar of any type and I got it when I was in high school. The one it replaced was a cheap beginner one with dodgy repairs to a broken headstock.
Maton 325
This was the first of my steel string guitars and is still a great old workhorse.
Martin 5-15 Mahogany Top Size 5 “Terz” is a short scale guitar generally tuned a major third higher than standard.
Jack Spira short scale guitar. This was custom made for me and is a short scale instrument generally tuned a fourth higher than standard.
Taylor 314-CE-L7 Fall limited electric-acoustic guitar with Blackwood back/sides
