From Scott, in the USA who owns a Forster Guitar bouzouki:
“I knew it was exactly what I wanted as soon as I played the first chord. It was immediately clear that this is a high-quality instrument with the tonal character and richness I was looking for.
I love the tonal depth, the overtones, and the ringing sustain. It has the classic bouzouki sound but with added depth and richness provided by the guitar body. It sounds beautiful and is very satisfying to play.
The 23.5” scale length has turned out to be perfect. It works great for playing chords while remaining manageable for picking out melodies. It clicked for me right at the start.
The instrument has definitely inspired me to focus more on improving my skills and spending more time playing.
The process went well. Nigel guided me through the build decisions and was responsive to my questions. It took about two years from the initial order to delivery, which required some patience, but the result was well worth the wait.
Commissioning an instrument like this is a significant financial and time commitment, but it is well worth it for an instrument of this caliber. I am very happy to have mine.”
