I need your help, please. The net is a dynamic entity. Websites come and go at a truly alarming rate. If one of the links on this page doesn't seem to work, it's likely that a server or a router somewhere is too distracted to process your request right now, but it will be OK later. Often though, the site has moved and left no forwarding address, or maybe it just doesn't even exist anymore. It's passed on. It is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to that big bit bucket in the sky. It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If it didn't have a link here, it'd be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolic processes are now history! It's kicked the bucket, shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' html choir invisible!! IT IS AN EX-WEBSITE!!! And that's quite enough of that blatant plagiarism of the Monty Python Pet Shoppe Sketch. I periodically check this page for link rot, but obviously I can't catch all of those dead sites right away. So, if you come across one of them, please email me and I'll investigate. By the same token, new sites keep popping up like mushrooms after a summer rain. I'd appreciate it if you let me know about any new ones that might fit here. On that note, here's a quick but heartfelt tip'o'the hat to me good mate Paul from the land of Oz who recently combed through this whole page and sent me an annotated list of dead 'uns and new ones. Thanks for your help Paul, we're now much more up-to-date. Now get back to work on your guitars! -Ron This is not exactly the kind of link I'm looking for, but I guess Vintage Guitar Magazine sort of fits here. After all, it's the people on this list who are making tomorrow's vintage instruments and keeping today's vintage instruments in prime playing condition. I'm always on the lookout for more good links to guitar builders and repairers. If you know of any relevant links that aren't already here, please email ronelong@rochester.rr.com and I'll include them. Or, you can visit my homepage or Go back to this page's index. Disclaimer: All of the opinions expressed on this page are my own, or are lifted verbatim from the pages referenced, or are complete fabrications. If you imagine that I have somehow maligned a fine guitar builder or repairer, please contact me and we'll discuss it as if we were reasonable people. lastmod 18 May GMT -0500 Y2.001K CE © 1994-2001 Ron Long
