			<link>http://bayareaguitarswap.com/topic/274/I-just-got-this-custom-in-from-my-dad-</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ My dad has been building guitars for almost years now. He recently finished up this guitar that I started years ago and is getting back into the swing of
things. I figured I&#39;ll post an example of his fine work in various places and hopefully something will come of it. I am working on creating an online
gallery or website featuring more of his work, but he&#39;s in Arizona so for now these pictures will have to do.
<br>
Here&#39;s a run-down of the specs:
<br>
*Carved flame maple top
<br>
*Mahogany body and neck
<br>
*Neck-thru
<br>
*25&quot; scale neck w/24 frets, ebony fret board and &quot;shark tooth&quot; inlays
<br>
*Wide-thin neck, compound radius
<br>
*Single JB in bridge, single volume knob
<br>
*String-thru, non-trem strat-style bridge, raised on an ebony &quot;saddle&quot; (working on patenting a bridge)
<br>
*Faux binding (natural maple trim, ala PRS)
<br>
*Sperzel tuners
<br>
*Cubic zirconium side fret markers
<br>

			<link>http://bayareaguitarswap.com/topic/237/BAGS-Visits-The-Santa-Cruz-Guitar-Company-SCGC-</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ <font size="4">Recently, Telemikester and I were fortunate to experience the hospitality of the people at SCGC, especially from Stephen Strahm, a luthier in
the Repair Department.  We brought along a SCGC OM/PW and an H 13, which Stephen was to take a peek. 
<br>
<br>
After making our way to Santa Cruz, we pulled into the parking lot of a very non-descript, unmarked commercial building.  Without any exterior company signs or
logos to guide us, we took a guess and entered through a smoked glass door, and instantly knew we were in the right place . . .

			<link>http://bayareaguitarswap.com/topic/61/Guitarmaker-s-in-Petaluma</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Well, there&#39;s me, and there&#39;s Taku Sakashta. I have known him for years, and I suspect I still can&#39;t spell his name! He does really excellent work
of an artistic nature, but still conservative enough to be called guitars, and they play well too. I don&#39;t know his website address, but Google probably
does.
<br>
<br>
More about me! I am 62 years old and have been building guitars since I was 20. It has been my primary income source most of that time. Though there are other
things I might do for cash flow enhancement, nothing beats guitar making for me. While I have made many different kinds of instruments over the years, I am
best know for acoustic flattop guitars. In addition to making my own innovative designs, I also am the primary maker of Eric Schoenberg&#39;s &#39;30&#39;s
Martin inspired guitars. I have made about 75 of those over the ten years I have known him. I designed and built my shop on the back of the property I own in
Petaluma. I spend 11 hours a day 6... ]]></description>
