This is Darrell Jennings with # 1 of only 3 of the 30th Anniversary Everetts. I have known Darrell a million years and he ownes a bunch of Everetts (He is a killer photographer too!). He drove down to Atlanta to get his guitar. We had a blast! See more photos of his guitar in the Gallery.		We had fun, we ate seafood, we drank wine, and we built a guitar. Scott took my 4 day guitar building class, worked on this guitar, and later came back to pickup his Azaela Everett. Judy said, "Now I see who my new competition is."		Well the Ever-etts keep spanning the Globe. Here is Hartmut "Hardy" Kathmann in Torgan (East) Germany with Everett # 223. Hardy found his Everett in cyberspace. Looks like the guitar finally found a happy home. Hoorah!
I recently met Jason Kostal when he took a guitar building class from me. What a great guitar player. He has studied with all my heros. He sings great, writes great songs, and has over 30 high end guitars (4 are Everetts). But that is only part of Jason's story. This is one interesting guy. Catch him in concert when you can.		Why is this guy so happy? Well Dan scored the last 2 Laurel 12 string for his studio Range Entertainment. He also has an Elan on order. Thanks Dan!		From Russia with a big smile. Anton Anokin sends us a photo of our first Everett in Russia. Thanks Anton, it looks like this Everett has found a good home! Now there are Everetts in the US, Canada, Japan, Germany, England, France, Switzerland,...

Yep, Mark Kunkle has a halo. Not only because he is a good guy, but because he has had 3 Everetts. On this fun day he finally got his first new one. That qualifies for a halo, no?		Well, Tony Rose bought a couple of my guitars a million years ago at the CAAS conferences that I used to attend (Chet Atkins Appreciation Society). Here is Tony with the Everett he "plays everyday". He was a great picker 10 years ago, I can only imagine ...		Michele Glisson got this guitar for husband Bob for his 50th. (With help from fellow Everett owner Scott Stevens.) "He was absolutely floored to get this guitar. He plays it almost everyday and just really loves it. " Well, that's my kind of birthday!
Shantell Ogden is a singer/songwriter living in Nashville and working in the music industry. She isn't afraid of 7th chords, taking chances and admitting that her Everett would be the one item she would take if her house was on fire. shantell's music		This is my old buddy Irino Hodgebey. I have had enough people ask about my electric guitar design from the 1980s and Irino sent me this photo of himself playing his Everett. So here you go. Irino is one of the great guys I got to know when I had my repair shop in Atlanta. He is a great guitar player, has played with a bunch of different bands ,and is still the hired gun of choice. Sorry to say Irino passed away this year. We miss you buddy.		www.HootsMacGroots.com Hoots was designed by my buddy puppeteer Chuck Robinson. Of course Hoots is playing an Everett , just like one of Chuck's two Everetts.

Some fun letters:

Well, as usual, my new Everett completely blew my clothes off! Here I sit in my shop, completely neckid
and panting like a 2 year old dog in a room full of hot female dogs ...

WOW WOW WOW!!! (I wonder how long it would take to wear the WOW keys out on my board??

"I'm convinced that there are more luthiers out there today than
ever before. But to put out a great guitar you have to have more than a
workshop and power tools. None of the many luthiers with whom I have had
some sort of contact make a guitar that plays as well as yours, nor do
they seem to have the deep respect for "art" which is evident in your
work. If I pick up a classical either the bass is too bassy or the
trebles don't ring. I've yet to hear a steel string that rings like my
Everett. Last night, after playing about an hour on my
nylon Everett I walked it from the bedroom to the den. It rang all the
way, and that's a nylon string guitar!! Sometimes when I open the case
on the steel string I expect to hear it still resonating the last note I
played before I put it away."
