»Philip Neumann is a stroke of luck for the guitar scene. He is not only one of the most innovative guitar makers of our time, whose results are electrifying - but he is also to great extent focused on the art of guitar making of long gone periods and the lovingly, conscientious restoration of old, exclusive master instruments based on up-to-date scientific methods.
As I have already said: a stroke of luck.« Sigi Schwab
