I remember you've mentioned the first article a couple of times in the past, but I didn't know it was about the VA. Have you ever postede a readable pic/scan of the entire article here or elsewhere? Erik

Hi Erik

The guitar was actually an Artist rather than the VA - in fact one of the earliest Artists ever made, dating back to late 1959. Offset contour neck, 1/8" jack socket, varying-height individual polepiece Trisonics, reverse-colour scratchplate - and with a Bigsby fitted from new, presumably as a special order. In it's present (much-modified) form it is here as my avatar.

The problem with placing the two pages of the article on this website is that the image size would have to be quite large to get reasonable definition for the text and that would mean scroll bars. I dislike scroll bars and usually reduce the image size of pics that I post down to 400-500 pixels on the long side to avoid them. Also, big images mean using a big chunk of Bob Doré's bandwidth, which seems unfair.

If you are interested I could perhaps email pictures to you as attachments.

David,
