I do not believe or claim that it is signed by Sol Hoopii.

I think that Fred Gouveia, the original owner, and his current girlfriend wrote the names of his musical heroes on the back of the cover ...

Guitar is FOUND!!

NOT STOLEN.

It was not stolen but accidentally left at the Monday night gig. Returned today.

I am very embarrassed, but oh so happy.

Thanks for all your support.

My impression is that the pencil the goes over the flux, but did not adhere well to it. I ...

Thanks Les,

I'd say the "Ku" looks pretty close to yours. The "S" in Sam is a bit different, but not entirely dissimilar.

I'm not much at handwriting analysis.

I thought these three names were written by the same hand, but now that I look at them again, Sam Ku's looks different. A different capital S for instance. ...

I took my 1928 National square neck (#488) down to Marc Schoenberger for servicing.

When we opened it up we saw writing on the back of the cone cover. It took us a couple minutes to realize there ...

I had the pleasure of hearing Brad Bechtel play his NRP square neck tricone with the Faux Hawaiians yesterday. The cold and foggy outside venue at the Forbidden Island in Alameda did nothing to cool ...
