I don't know anything about Mr. Patterson, but I have been fortunate to
talk to Richard Hoover on several occasions.
Richard is a really nice gentleman, a well of information, and he loves to
talk about guitars.
I would suggest you e-mail him through Santa Cruz Guitars, and just be
patient for a couple of weeks as he is at the NAMM Show this week/weekend
He is very good about replying to all correspondance.
Also send him a couple of pics of your guitar with the e-mail.
Oh, and how about posting them here for the rest of us to see
