Richard Best.
Features Editor, Express and Echo 'He makes top quality guitars...with components...that come from all over the world' (see scanned image of article) |
| David Cottam, busy performer, composer and teacher resident in the South West. | "The one he made for me in 2000 is still my all time
favourite guitar. I have owned in the past a Romanillos,a Rubio,a Fischer
and a Kohno so I am ranking it with some of the best guitars available,
all of which were more expensive to buy."

| Steve Gordon, performer, teacher and publisher. | One of the most impressive features of the two Newman guitars I've played is the balance, warmth and depth of tone across the entire range and particularly in the middle and upper register. These guitars have a very individual character, the tone on the upper strings is complex, mellow surrounding a steel core, resonant and with great projection. |
| Gordon Giltrap. A modern day master of the acoustic guitar'. | 'With regard to Shaun...believe me
the man is a true craftsman, I was VERY impressed' |
