I lost my contact info for Williams Guitars (Bill Rudolph?).

Is he still building guitars?

Thanx,
Jim

You bet they are building! I just got a luscious S-12 (E9 extended). Bill Rudolph is fantastic to work with, knowledgeable, gracious, pleasant, and very helpful.

Click here for their web site (click from there on "Contact Us" for their phone, address and email information). Bill is the one who answered the phone when I first called; he is working with his son Tim.

One of these days I'll post some photos along with a story of how this beginner ended with with an E9-extended S12. Glad I did Smile

They aren't just building - they are crafting some of the best guitars out there. And it is going on as we speak!

Bill and his son build great guitars, and are great guys.

Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

I've got 2, a D10 and a D12. They're wonderful!
