One of THE great enduring mysteries of late 20th Century Guitar Building – Peter Thomas Ney was a Hull Based Luthier and it is understood worked for British Aerospace in a craft and design role. In addition to building 5 string banjos Peter produced a number of high quality replicas of early classical builders’ guitars such as Lacote. This guitar is one of his design prototypes and possibly a one off, for an Ampliphonic Acoustic Resonator that uses innovatively placed sound chambers to amplify the strings – other features include wonderful herringbone binding and a self designed and machined aluminium tailpiece. Sadly despite extensive enquiries we have been unable to trace Mr. Ney since this instrument came to us.
