Gurian guitars

I have a 25+/- year old flat top Gurian with a Dreadnought body and rather narrow neck (which is perfect for my short ,slow fingers). Bought it about 15 years ago. I believe it's a "pre-fire" model. This is a very fine hand made instrument which is, for my money, superior to any other, including old Martins.

Are there other Gurian owners around who might know some background on this make? Are the original lutenists still in business anywhere? I think they worked in New Hampshire.
