I ran across this link. Does anyone know anything about this guy who plays in a train station in Japan?

In the small photos, his guitar looks alot like the Limited Edition 2000th Carter.

I believe it's an older model Excel or "Fuzzy".

Clarification: I didn't mean to imply that it WAS the 2000th Carter, only that the small photo looks LIKE the 2000th Carter. Maybe I should have said, it reminds me of the Carter.

The fret board graphics are Excel.

He appears to be playing in his stocking feet. At first I wondered, man, wouldn't they get incredibly dirty in a train station, and then I noticed how clean the whole place seemed to be. Sho-Bud pedal, and the pedals themselves seem to be color coded. Some audio of his performance would be nice.

I was a street musician in San Francisco in the summer of 1975. I played a lap steel through a homemade, battery-powered amp. I wasn't a solo act like this guy, though. We were a trio. When the season ended, we added drums and became a bar band.
