Really spells it all out what we did and when
I used to write a lot neated back then! Neated? Still can't type worth a damn. But you play pretty damned good blues guitar.
Seriously Beal, you and the rest of the team did wonderfulness with the guitars developed and built back then. If I've never said it before, thanks. |

Off topic Trivia.. Did you know back it the earliest days , there was talk about wood look "contact paper" as a possibility for the round back?
All I could imagine is something like this..

Location: East Wenatchee, WA | Hey...how about that wet immersion process they use to put camo on gun stocks and bows. I have a business relationship with a national bow manufacturer and they use the process on composites and aluminum.
Maybe I will take my 1537 in and have them "dip it" in some RealTree camo for a "wood grain" look (with leaves and twigs for effect).
Seriously, with all the flames, and unusual treatments guitars are getting, it might be kind of fun to take a Korean built O and have that done. Or maybe it already has been. |

All I've heard of were the KA models. |

It's a good thing you're a PI and not a grief counselor, Paul. |
