I'm going to find unusual, sometimes old, sometimes weird guitars, then talk about them and play them.
I'm Ben Smith, guitarist, presenter at Andertons TV, session musician, teacher, and one half the duo, sometimes band, Smith & Brewer.

An early 1970s Harmony H6365 acoustic Mahogany top grand concert model.
Send us a textToday I'm playing an early 70's Harmony H6365. Mahogany top and back, Grand Concert size, and ladder braced, which gives it a slightly different voice to the norm, which I like. This would be a great 'character' guitar to have in the corner of a studio for when your usual acoustic just aren't sitting right in the mix. ;-)Support the showInstagram.com/bensmithguitarFacebook.com/bensmithguitar
