“When you get right down to it, these guitars represent something uniquely American . . . You’re transported to a place where it’s always Saturday night in the summertime, a place where cars are fast and girls are pretty. And when you pull into the parking lot and cut the engine, you can hear the music and know that everybody’s inside, twisting the night away.” –David Nicholson, Washington Post Book World
