i have no idea if anyone reads this site, but fyi my exquisite 1974 time is depicted on the cover of the brochure for the UVM fleming museum's "instruments as art" show i curated in 1991. ( ive since moved to ann arbor mich)..the instrument is virtually mint ( with the exception of a small repair on the bottom of the lower bout where i dinged it against one of my bronze sculptures)...the size of the body allows me to keep it tuned as a baritone guitar which rivals the "bob brozeman" santa cruz model in power and sonority...it was originally made for a guy in middlebury and i got it used, but had it refinished and tweaked by the people who took over from alan stack ( paul languedoc et al as i recall..).anyway ,it remains the monarch of a pretty nice stash of instruments ( guitars, banjos ,lutes etc) that i own a play...if anyone knows a value $ ( for insurance since im not planning on selling it) id appreciate it..steve pastner ( spastner@umich.edu)...
