Olivier Kikteff, of the incredible gypsy jazz outfit Les Doigts de l'Homme, is now the proud owner of a D hole 14 model made by yours truly. "La rencontre" happened in the super-packed, super-charged Quecumbar in Battersea, where the band was performing in the week-long celebration of the centenary anniversary of Django. After the gig Olivier agreed to try the guitar out. He liked it... he bought it....end of story!
