I originally built this Les Paul style guitar in 1974. It was the first guitar that I ever made.

In about 1975 I was approached
by Gibson to see if I was interested in becoming a Warranty Center.

Ken Killman of Gibson flew here to check me out. I showed him my
Les Paul and told him I could not afford one so I built one.

I have been a Warranty Center
for Gibson ever since.

Recently I refinished it in
the sunburst you see here.
