You can think of it as a list of people, organizations, products and services that I endorse. As such, I don't expect it to ever get very big or comprehensive. For the moment, there's no particular order. The Guild of American Luthiers For nearly 30 years these folks have hosted a communication forum that is, in my opinion, in large part responsible for the present golden age of guitarmaking. Their quarterly publication, American Lutherie , has been my favorite read for more than 20 years.
Membership is open to anyone who is interested.
Ricky Skaggs Ricky is a true believer in my guitars. He put a picture of one of them on the inside cover of his milestone CD, Bluegrass Rules. We both know that Ricky could make more money endorsing other guitars, but he won't endorse what he doesn't play. Sugar Hill Records Sugar Hill is a bluegrass-oriented record company that puts out a number of CD's on which my guitars are used, including CD's by Bryan Sutton, Dolly Parton, Nickel Creek, and Guy Clark. The folks at Sugar Hill have been very gracious in allowing me to use their photos.
