Jonesy, Jan Burda is still making guitars, last I heard. He is living in lower Michigan now. Hogeye Music is still in business, though it is now owned and run by Jim Craig. Still 50 years behind the times. I bought two guitars from Hogeye over the years, a Santa Cruz Model H (I, too, met someone with the same model, one digit different in the serial number); which I still have and use in CGCGCD tuning; and a Breedlove (which I later sold on e-bay). Hogeye is a great store.
