Just a quick tip of the hat to an awesome Luthier and old friend.
I have known Mike for almost 50 yrs and played music on and off with him.
I currently own 5 of his world class guitars and another is on the way!
Some may not know that Mike had quite a career as a Bass player for some very big
names before deciding to chuck it all and make a fortune building guitars! :lol:
Thanks Mike!!
