Nathan Brown   Wow! What a player!  But don't take my word for it.  Why not email Nate (click on his name shown left in bold) and order Nate's new CD, 'North Country Mile'.  Nate and I have become good friends and have been working together to design a semi-acoustic 14" Jazz Box that will hopefully become his 'standard' instrument.  The signature series guitar is based on the Skyline model and you can see it being built on the Progress Page

	Jim Cheek is my good friend and music instructor.  Jim is a respected musician here in Duluth.  I've known Jim since 2000 and had the honor and privilege of restoring his 1956 Les Paul Standard.  He exercised great patience during the 18-month revival of his 'baby'.  He has a really interesting story about that guitar.  Contact him at his website.  I'm sure he'd enjoy sharing it with you.
