Posted: Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:04 amI’m so sorry to hear this. He was such a nice man and great guitar builder. I bought 3 guitars from him - a Martin a Gibson CEC and he made a perfect Sand nylon string. About 20 years ago my family, wife and 3 kids, vacationed in Laguna Beach and one morning we showed up at his shop in our bathing suits. He didn’t mind, treated us special and walked the family through his workshop. I had been there before and he let me play a guitar that Chet had used. He will be missed.
