About This Archive
This is a personal, left-handed guitar and gear archive. It exists to preserve the details that are easy to lose: why an instrument mattered, what its actual specification was, how it changed, and which questions still need an answer.
What Appears Here
Section titled “What Appears Here”- Confirmed model names, years, finishes, construction, electronics, and hardware.
- Broad first-person histories and collection status.
- Manufacturer and dealer links used as references.
- Maintenance, modification, setup, storage, pedalboard, and practice projects.
- Personal photos after they have been checked for serial numbers and other private details.
What Stays Private
Section titled “What Stays Private”- Serial and lot numbers.
- Receipts, invoices, order records, exact prices, and payment details.
- Private email, contact information, addresses, and source identifiers.
- Insurance records, values, appraisals, and security or location details.
- Raw dealer photos unless permission to republish them is clear.
How Facts Are Handled
Section titled “How Facts Are Handled”The most specific source wins. A record for the actual instrument is preferred over a current page for a similar model. Factory information, dealer specifications, and personal recollection are kept distinct, and unresolved details are labelled instead of guessed.
Descriptions are paraphrased and source pages are linked. The private archive keeps the supporting evidence intact without turning private records into public content.
