Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! If I hear back from Bill Gruggett, I will let you know what I find out. Also, if any of you know anything about this guitar...approx. age...etc, please respond to this thread...I'd love to hear what you know!

Again, many thanks!

John

So I heard back from Bill yesterday. He told me that the guitar was over 25 years old, he built it for a customer and it is one of a kind. He also said that he handwound the pickups himself and of course he made the wood pickup covers...which are one of his signatures.

Pretty cool to hear back from him. I asked him if he would be interested in Re-fretting it for me. I don't know if Bill is doing a lot of work these days, but I am interested to see if I hear back from him again.
