... "Finally, I cannot stop looking at the wood. It is unique, beautiful, so, so beautiful... He has spent hours and hours and hours with this labour of love, and the love makes the voice of this guitar what it is. I'm so in love, I could just do nothing but play play play play play. I'm so happy.” After playing the guitar for a few weeks, Piggott wrote, "The guitar [Ben] Seymour made for me is so unusual. For a start, it virtually never goes out of tune. The various tones of the guitar are characterized by sounding like a part of a symphony rather than just a chord on a guitar. I know that sounds fantastical, but what I mean is that each string gets the full treatment because of the acoustic resonance and sounds as an individual but also as obviously an integral part of the overall sound. I've never noticed this dynamic on any other guitar I've ever known. "I've found that it changes the way I make music, as I become more sensitive to its character and its interpretation of songs I've been performing for decades. The guitar is teaching me and has lent me a different ear to music I thought I had done to death. The closer I get to the instrument the more expressive I feel. "He's a genius."
