Subject: RE: Instruments: Phillip T. Buss: Guitar Maker
I have a Phil Buss "baroque" guitar, made in Madison, WI, 1964. The label inside says "made for Mary Lynn Buss". This instrument looks as though it may have been a first effort. It's very plain: no binding or purfling, and kind of a rough finish all around. Also, it was missing a few frets, and a few were in the case instead on the fingerboard. The saddle was loose in the case. But the fingerboard showed a little wear, so I like to think that someone had a good time playing it.

If anyone's interested in it, you can contact me at my "from" address, at g m a i l (you know the rest, but maybe I can avoid robotic spam). It should be playable again in a few days.
