I bet you spend a lot of time at joes....

 

but do you  "eat at joes"?  sorry...i had to ;D

 

No.  The guys I play with are either divorced, twice in both cases, or single.  They grill slabs of meat to a little over being raw and eat it bloody.  They stick their fingers into the pickle jars after wielding their "gherkins" in the bathroom.  On Sunday morning one of them will be sure to come down with some kind of gut bug.  Of course all of those "Dead Guy's" or "Sierra's" have nothing to do with it. 

 

I am far, far, from being the man of manners....as some of you will find out "later this week" but I can't eat like that.  "Well, we are going to cook some meat."  "Nah, I think I will eat with Linda and the girls, thanks."

 

For being animals like that we should be a better band.  I guess I am holding the rest of them back.

finaly found the guy who made it

,this is what he had to say

 

Yes, that is definitely one of mine.  Great to see it again!

 

It is a copy of a Rickenbacher.  I have all my notes on it.  It was ordered

by a guy named, Van Norian on 3/10/1978.  It was finished 5/26/1978.  In

looks to be in the original shape from what I can tell from your photo. 

 

How did you find me, and where are you?  I am always curious as to hear

about the path in which my guitars have traveled.

 

Thanks,

Hey bob, great piece of detective work !

 

I did a google search on John Kinnard , he has a website

 

http://www.johnkinnard.com/about.html

 

Interesting site with some nice pics of his work.

"Later in the seventies, John and his then business partner, Peter Webster, owned Heritage Guitar Works, located in Clovis, CA. While there, John began restoring vintage stringed instruments. "
