"I
started building steel string guitars at the beginning of 2002.
My guitars are made in the Pacific Northwest;
Eugene, Oregon,
USA.
Each guitar has a label ( viewed from the
soundhole) that indicates the date, model, guitar number in that
series and overall guitar number."

"So far I've made 45 instruments,
all one off's for specific buyers, none of which are numbered or
dated. This information is with me at the workshop, noted in a
book. All are with their original purchasers except one l/h
strat, sold when the owner was broke, a 5 string bass stolen in
France, and a guitar and bass lost in the states when the rep
died windsurfing. " [Source: Frank, email 3/4/2008] |
