Dana's a great builder. I had the pleasure of visiting his shop a few years ago. They have a great operation there, with a few craftsmen hand-building a small number of guitars with just enough technological assistance to optimize quality. Dana's a pretty low-key guy who still puts in time at a bench every day he's in the shop. He seems far more interested in turning out fantastic instruments than in pursuing fame or riches -- as is true of many fine luthiers.
