I'm pretty sure that's the same Martin Kelly who has an astonishing collection of British-made Vox gear too. Amazing stuff!!

It is, and the same MK who co-wrote Fender the Golden Age, you can see some more pics of these guitars in that book as well :)

wow, I say wow!
plenty of guitars there that I would lust over if I had a larger bank balance.
The comments about sonic / daphne blue are spot on …. high percentage of adds I see that are for daphne are obviously (to my eyes) sonic (even adds for new guitars)

The photography is also pretty impressive

More like twice that + and it’s not a refin, it’s original!

And a true gentleman! Martin is a wealth of knowledge, and he goes to great lengths to share and spread information about these guitars online and in books. Huge contribution to the vintage gear community, I think.

Martin is also working on THE definitive history book about Rickenbacker guitars, which is a subject that has never been truly and properly covered before.

Look forward to that and his Vox guitars book once that's published.

Yeah Martin is such a great guy - and super, super passionate about nailing the details. Honestly if he wrote a book about Encore guitars I'd read it! Cannot *wait* for the Vox book

Absolutely! Definitely one of the good guys
