"I was astounded by the beauty and power of the Lucas guitars I played at The Stamford Guitar Festival. I loved the richness of the bass and the sonorous, bell-like quality of the mids and treble. were nothing short of amazing. Adrian's attention to detail is apparent in the fit and finish. The joinery is flawless. Bravo, Lucas Guitars!" Jack Lawrence - Doc Watson's playing partner since the mid 80s (Pavilion, Arbour)

"Hi Adrian, just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the sound and build of your guitars and to let you know that it sorely grieved me to have to give them back to you at the end of the festival. I'll be in touch about placing an order with you in the very near future. Cheers," Pete Smith "I have played Adrian's brazilian 'Pavilion' guitar now on two occasions and never wanted to give it back...............occasionally something special comes along............this instrument sings.......I love it !" John Buckley

"I'm always delighted to see a builder take the less than obvious path, and succeed. Lucas guitars are radical, built along parallel lines of evolution to some American instruments, they have their own voice. Good separation and consistent tone production make for a lovely and versatile guitar." Martin Simpson

"I found the luthery of Adrian Lucas original in its concept, forms and artistic results. A bit like an attempt to come back to original concepts, seeking for the essential: the sound. The steel string I have tried reminded me of ancient instruments, very sonic and tight, Eddie Lang, Charlie Christian or Django would have enjoyed it. I was particularly impressed with the sound of the nylon string, very even, graceful and quite friendly all together !" Pierre Bensusan (steel and classical radials)

"It has a marvellous barking tone, and can play raunchy or sweet as a feather, with glorious overtones. It is extremely piercing and loud, with a unique punchy voice that still sounds a bit like a meaty classical. Everyone who plays it has never heard anything like its tone. It has completely eclipsed and outclassed my OM42, which is now being sold. You did a really great job on this guitar, and you have every right to be extremely proud. It's brilliant." Dennis Czech (radial steel)

"Here I am in the middle of one of my five yearly burn-out periods when all music doesn't make sense and I just can't listen to anything , nor enjoy. I picked up the Lucas guitar and the response of touch, variation of tonality and volume dispersed my melancholia instantly. The last time that happened to me was over twenty years ago with a guitar was with a 1923 Martin. But this time the elation was more profound. I couldn't take my hands or my eyes off it. 'It doesn't matter what this guitar costs - it's priceless', I declared. Too bad I have no money to get one......" Billy Jenkins (parlour)
