You may find these interviews interesting:

So I have "kinda" tracked down another Crooked Star owner, but I’m counting it.

I found out a player named Dan Phelps had owned one of the Rosewood B/S Euphonons. I contacted Dan and he told me he had recently sold it to a friend (Dan loved the CS but is now sticking with small body guitars).

So the registry as of today is:
Senorita (14 Fret)-bayoubengal
Prairie State Jumbo-bayoubengal
Euphonon Mahogany B/S-bayoubengal
0-18-Ledgerock
0-18-Kris Truelson
Euphonon Rosewood B/S-Friend of Dan Phelps
Six down, eight to go.

I love works of art with character... I never played one, and likely never will around here... but I keep checking this thread.

Man these things look great. And with your play, I bet they sound great too.

Sal--They do sound great when I play my intricate Three Chord Songs.
Seriously, Tony Klassen's Crooked Star Line is the best value out there in Acoustic Guitars IMHO. He told me he will probably build four in 2020. I'll try to keep everyone informed.
