Greetings.
I have had some lovely feedback about the guys from Belman guitars & the guitars they brought along to the Electric Guitar Masterclass.
So this morning I called them & broached the idea of a bunch of us touring their factory; & they are happy to indulge us.
We haven't spoken about a time or date, but if you are interested, would you please email me?
Kind regards,
Bob.
(Comment from Alan Brown - "I have been to the Belman factory, had a tour, met the guys and had a custom Belman made as a result. I can highly recommend the tour even if you don't end up buying a guitar!!")
