Jeff Golub’s dedication to his craft has always been evident, and his vision loss is just another reason to support him. God Bless You, Jeff ! !

That extended strap button is a wild idea. I hope he likes the new Artist as much as the old one. And I will be looking for that CD you mentioned. Thanks for the heads-up!

Good luck and good health to him.
Might I make a suggestion as to a tweak or two to that model:
Design a new, lighter headstock with straight-pull string runs and lighter machines.
Taper the body slightly to have it thicker at the lower bout and thinner at the horns.
Perhaps you won’t need the extender then.
Nice Tee shirt, Todd…

Really pretty guitar for sure! I echo the other’s sentiment – hoping that Jeff’s sight can be restored…

I met him briefly years ago and he couldn’t have been nicer to a total stranger. Great player, and you guys definitely did him right with the new Artist.

Three Kings sounds great! Mention Robben Ford and Sonny Landreth and i am in. It has been my pleasure to see both of them touring with some old British guy named – John Mayall. That would be Sir John Mayall and his guitarist at the time was another Tone Monster, Mr. Buddy Whittington.

Best wishes to Jeff and I hope that his loss of sight can be restored.
