Kala Ukuleles
After looking at all the brands I chose a Kala KA-TEME bought from Ukeshop (Steve Kyle) in Washington UK. Its a stunner. I then bough a second KALA. More later on site

Ed Roman Guitars Las Vegas
Interesting site, although he plugs his own brand as better than PRS. Dont think so ... Ed Roman died in 2011, and Roman Guitars continues in Las Vegas, but without the showmanship perhaps.

Godin Guitars
Canadian manufacturer. I have one of their electric guitars

Hagstrom Guitars
Interesting official site of the revived company. There are other fan sites you can google

PRS
Paul Reed Smith. The SE models are superb, the USA made ones amazing. And if you have £25000 you can buy a dragon (see it on his site)
