Will, thanks for thinking of me. Alas, I'm in selling rather than buying mode and recently sold my own 1931 gold sparkle L-2.

Wily, I'm still working on the west coast schedule. Gibson offered to fly me to the Homecoming in June and then promptly stopped returning my message (business as usual for Gibson). So, stay tuned.

"John, please let me know when you are in the bay area next, would like to buy you a beer and chat, maybe play some guitar or just hang out!"

Wily, I'm working on an April visit to the bay area. Just waiting on Gibson to come through on my expenses. We'll see. They are an interesting bunch.

Fred,

Nice too hear from you. Yes, I decided that the forum has gotten a bit ugly for my tastes. Do keep in touch. My email address is johnthomasguitar@gmail.com

The book is with my publisher. So, we wait. I'm also working with Robi Johns on some very accurate reproductions of the Banner flattop models. Should be fun.

Please email so that we can keep in ...

Wily,

My 1928 L-1 flattop is the same. All of the early Ls had that very short scale length. makes them perfect travel guitars!
