This is the first guitar Mark ever built.
He would go on to build many more.
This is the second guitar that Mark built.
Mark's 8X10 Marshall stack from his teen years.
Mark holding his Sunburst Les Paul.
Mark playing his Tele/Strat, with Kinman pickups.
Mark swore by them.
The neck was like a baseball bat.
Mark was always trying to get someone to make a neck like that, but it was never big enough!
We took it into the House Of Guitars and they had never seen anything like it.
Mark's Gold-Top and Sunburst Les Paul's,
also with big fat necks!
Mark playing his Dan Armstrong.
The pickup in it is an old Gison that I put in a plexiglas shell 25 years ago.
We both loved Danno guitars.
No wonder we were such good friends!
Mark built guitars for 30 or so years, and designed and wound his own pickups.
His favourite strat pickups were Kinmans.
Noiseless, but still the closest sound to a strat. www.kinman.com
