Paul,

Regards from Salzburg, Austria. Travelling here on a quick, week-long get-away... Met the owner of "Riverside Guitars" and mentioned your name in conversation. He said he had a '61 360F with you.

Cheers!

That would be our good friend Michael Steinitz, aka "Stootsie". :D We spent a fun day with him and his girlfriend at NAMM last year!

And you made mine, since I spent all of my morning looking through this thread. :wink:

Can I send you my guitar so you can take some pictures of it out in your backyard? :lol:

That shrub flowers for less than a month each year. Right now it looks like something from Death Valley Days! :lol:
