NYLON STRING ELECTROACOUSTIC GUITAR Billy Watman is an award-winning Anglo-Brazilian finger-style instrumental guitarist based in London, UK. Currently studying at The Royal College of Music - inspired by the likes of Rodrigo y Gabriela, Tommy Emmanuel, Mike Oldfield and Paco De Lucía. He reached the final of 'Guitar Star' - a guitar talent show open to all ages and genders for Sky Arts TV, which aired in the UK, Europe, Australia and South America. Billy is an experienced live performer and has appeared on the main stage at Towersey Festival alongside Midge Ure, Billy Bragg and many more.
The BYWSM guitar was designed in close collaboration with Billy. He has chosen a solid spruce top, back and sides in a stunning hand-selected White Ebony with a gloss finish. Playing comfort is provided by the slim 48mm neck featuring Billy's trademark hat inlay at the 12th fret, a newly designed cutaway and pronounced flamed acacia body binding with integrated ergonomic armrest.
The BYWSM Signature model features a Fishman/Ortega Classic Blend preamplifier system. On the back of the classically designed slotted headstock you'll find Billy's laser-engraved signature.
The exclusive Billy Whatman model comes complete with an exclusive soft case with embroidered logo.
