He does work for many different steel makers.
If you have one, let's see it! I'll start with a couple (even though they're not mine).

I have nothing fancy to post here, but what a great idea for a thread! My top post so far for 2008 (OK, it is early). I was told by one guitar builder that Mark gets either just the dimensions of the end plates or perhaps just a set of endplates from the guitar maker and goes from there for each brand of guitar.

Why?? You know Mark didn't have anything to do with those bodies. |

Here is my MSA SD12 Legend,"Sundance" as I like to call him and my buddy JW's Rains SD-10.
Both the wonderful work of Mark.

| I suspect Herb's boots were made by the Austin Hall Boot Co. Had a couple similar pair made up years ago myself |

Jeff, thanks for the notice! 
Kevin, the boots are Tony Lama, part of their now-discontinued "Americana" series. They came in different color overlays. I have, in addition to the black/red lizard you see, also a pair of black/natural python.
I got them years ago, but only wear them for stage use.
Back on topic, y'all!!

That's funny, Herb, I wear normal shoes to play in, don't feel as nimble-footed in boots, and switch to boots to dance with the perty ladies on break!
Nice boots!...someone start a boots thread, please.

I'd be scared to death to own and play one of Mark's cabs. They are so beautiful, if I dented it or scratched it, it would be like shredding the Mona Lisa.
Mark is a true artist.

Here's mine. Just wait until Mark gets my Archtop finished, that'll be the one to post pictures of.
I wanted this one to match my Gibson ES137, and he got it really close.

I've said it before. Your Legend is as beautiful a guitar that I could imagine. I bet a D10 would also look great in the same finish. |
