I recently visited Martin Simpson at his home in Sheffield, taking him the Anniversary Martin Simpson guitar he fell in love with on a recent visit. He intends to use it for recording and playing live.
Here are photos I took of Martin playing the guitar in his home. It sounded wonderful; it took me back to how Martin sounded playing my guitars years ago. His wife Kit echoed my thoughts, saying ‘Martin, that sounds like you’.
The guitar is my 40th Anniversary guitar number 4, built in October 2022. I’ll add another pickup to the existing Highlander later this summer.
Why is there a dulcimer in my ear?
