Dang, but I've got nice friends! My friend Nick gave me this guitar, that has been sitting in its case in his basement for nearly 40 years. It seems his sister, when she was in college, knew this guy who made guitars. She apparently bought one, thinking she'd learn to play. She never did. So it sat, until Nick's wife said, "Why not just give it to Goodwill?"
"I've got a better idea," he said. And he gave it to me.
Made by James D. Fellows, April 15, 1977. The neck is straight as an arrow, and all it needed was a new set of strings!
Here's an update for the ages! Just today I received an email from the guitar maker, James D. Fellows! He saw the post here and sent me an email with some history of the instrument and some follow up. How cool is that???
