Hey Keith,

Yes, there are some in the know about Dale Fairbanks guitars and many of those would, as you indicate, love to have one of his guitars.

However, my point is that not nearly enough people have been fortunate to have played, or let alone heard of Fairbanks guitars. That is what I purport to do, spread the Fairbanks name.

Fairbanks Guitars is not widely enough known or broadcast, so yes, they are under the radar. So are Webber guitars and David Webber has been making guitars a lot longer than Dale Fairbanks. It's tough being a small shop luthier. There is a plethora of competition and it takes a differentiating factor to be elevated above the fray.

As someone who has owned most every significant builder, i can say Fairbanks guitars are worth consideration and comparison by all of us.
