McElroy Guitars at Abbey Road Studios, London
The North American Guitar held an event at Abbey Road Studio's historic Studio 2 on the 17th of May.
The event was held to bring guitar aficionados, collectors and investors together to meet luthiers and sample the custom guitars that The North American Guitar represent.
Unfortunately I was unable to attend, but the fact that my guitars were actually recorded at Abbey Road Studios has my head spinning!!

The Launch of The North American Guitar
I was in London this past
week for a very special occasion. It was the launch party for a new London based
European dealership: The North
American Guitar.
As the guest of honor at this gala event, I had to speak….I was nervous as hell!!! But I was told I did good.
This event was planned to coincide with the release of the 50th issue of Acoustic Magazine, mostly but because there was a double feature about my guitars, but also because Acoustic Magazine is one of the biggest supporters of the acoustic guitar community in the UK.
I of course knew about the feature article that was going to be in the 50th issue. But I had NO idea about the cover until Shirley and I met up with the fabulous Michael Watts outside our hotel a couple of days before the event. Michael walked up and greeted us, and then out of his bag he pulls a copy of the magazine and holds it up for us to see. I believe I just about fainted!!!!
Ben Montague provided some of the evening entertainment as did Michael Watts
This fabulous event was hosted buy Robert Montague CBE and Michael Watts
Shirley and I got to hang out with some really cool people
The events I experienced this last week in London were just unbelievable, I don’t remember how many times I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.
I’d like to thank EVERYONE involved but especially Robert Montague, Michael Watts, for making this all happen.
And of course a big thank you to Acoustic Magazine for such a great review!
Thank you!!!
