“Nathan has been playing Ellis guitars for years now. “Nathan is one of the most popular acoustic players over here,” says Andrew. “I read about him in the newspaper and went into music shop to show them my guitars, and he just happened to be there and tried them out and liked what he heard.” “immediately”, says Nathan on the experience, “what I noticed was that the projection of his acoustics was a lot more than anybody else’s guitars that I had played. I was previously playing a Martin six-string. The way that his guitar projected, to me, felt more open, it felt bigger. It has a lot more highs, more lows and a good mid-range.””  Australian Guitar Vol 55
