Several people own his work, Gordon Bok, Kendall Morse, Ken Schatz, etc. I have one that he made for me 10 years ago, which I can't play any more. I was wondering which would be the best place to advertise it, as I see no point leaving it hanging around unplayed? I am UK based, and even more difficult, I am way up in the north of Scotland, so it's not easy to come visit for a try out. Any suggestions welcomed. |

Kendall's is the best-sounding 12-string I ever hear (my experience was hearing Rick Fielding play it), and I was there when you got it. It's a beautiful sounding guitar. I'd get in touch with Nick. Maybe he's got some connections over there. |
