Very cool, indeed.
From the looks of the dirty shop, I'd say no government agencies ever check his place for violations.
He must be doing something right, as his instruments look nice!

Hahaha that's what I was wondering! Love those wiggly backs. They must be a nightmare to make

Very cool!

I love the shot with cigarette in hand explaining the instrument, you don't see that on the Martin tour.

That sounds like a cool trip. Love the pic of the cheetah in the car but what it doesn't show is what is on the other side of the car. This pic was taken from the other side of that car. Take a guess at what other OLF member was checking out ouds.
