I know someone on this list can help...
Brad Nickerson~ of Nickerson Guitars in Northampton, MA has asked if
y'all can help connect him. He's been comissioned to make a very special
archtop guitar in 1998. It being the "year of the tiger" in Chinese
tradition, he'll be using that as "the theme".
He'll be having a gorgeous picture of a tiger etched onto the head of
the guitar (just above the nut). He's also like to do some inlay down
the fretboard, & was thinking of some Chinese characters describing the
history of the guitar, the tiger, something special....
If any of you out there know someone, maybe at an area college... who
knows the language well enough to help Brad out- or if any of you have
any other creative ideas- he can be reached thru
lynhardy@crocker.com
or 413 586-8521
& just because he wouldn't toot his own horn- I'll mention, 1 of his
guitars are on display now at the Smithsonian (& I know myself, Jim
Henry & Maria Sangiolo love our Nickerson's)

thanks so very much!
