Just got a blurb that Allied has bought out Walter Lipton’s stock of tonewoods. I have purchased the majority of my wood from Walter/Euphonon over the last 14 years. Great stuff, especially the old Mahogany for necks and bodies. Nice old Sitka too as well as BZ bridge blanks. I remember my first call to Walter around 2004. He asked me how many guitars I had built. I told him around 10. His answer was “well I can’t sell you the good stuff yet”. I knew right there and then that he was a guy I wanted to work with. |

After Lewis Luthier Supply in BC Canada went south (I mean they really went south to become LMI) I ordered from Walter, especially strings. They always had great strings at a really good price. |

Allied Lutherie, formerly operated by Grant Taggart, having taken over the business from parents Todd and Mary, was recently purchased by a Vermont-based group. Two trailer loads of timber and machinery crossed the continent last month and are now residing in Shelburne, VT, just south of Burlington. A new chapter in Allied’s history has begun.

I think this might work out...we get an additional US East Coast supply house, and Allied continues in business. |

Looks like I might have waited too long to return all those funky truss rods... Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk |
