b'In 2008 I created and designed a book/catalogue for Fylde. It illustrates the high quality workmanship and craftsmanship that goes into the creation of a Fylde instrument. At the same time it communicates the skill and expertise of Fyldes principal, Roger Bucknall. His guitars are considered to be some of thenest that any English maker produces and he is ranked among the Worlds top makers. However, one of the problems that face Fylde is the perception that it is a mass producer of musical instruments, when nothing could be further from the truth. They produce around 100 guitars a year. The book was intended to help correct that impression and includes sections about guitar building, tone woods, the workshop and special and custom guitars to convey the message of quality, uniqueness and personal attention.Photography Michael Englishpage 46'
