Yes, there are people out there who actually think my opinion is worth something. In fact, Home Depot has given me tens of thousands of dollars of merchandise to review. ( Thanks, Home Depot. Really love the kayak !!! And of course, the cutting board. ) Lately, I've started receiving items from Amazon sellers as well.
I like to experiment with materials, designs, and techniques outside of conventional luthiery to build low-cost, high-quality, fully-functional, and attractive electric guitars and basses. What I am not interested in is doing the same old thing the same old way it has been done for decades.

This is another factory guitar, vintage 1960s, made by Danelectro and sold exclusively through Sears. The 1448 was one of the cheapest electric guitars in the Sears catalog, but it came with something special - it's own amplifier built into the hardshell case. There is almost no wear on this guitar, I don't think it was played much.
