Can anyone advise one of our readers about master luthier Ken Walton? He lived in Spennymoor at one time and is renowned for the Waltone range of guitars - is he still active?Lance.

Mr Ken Walton has sadly ceased production of fine guitars. I purchased a "Gary Potter Special" in blue, from him but for some reason never played it. I tried a couple of his instruments when he first became known on the circuit and always wanted to buy one but never had the opportunity until I heard about the GPS blue guitar.
Recently I purchased a natural blonde acoustic model and it is , without any shadow of doubt, the best, most responsive acoustic archtop I have ever played. It is very undecorated,but that may have helped its voice.
When I spoke to KW he was still in Spennymoor but I do not know his address. He was planning to sell off all his tone woods which he collected over the years.
