THE LITTLE TOWN OF BELLINGHAM is home to some remarkable craftsmen. Among them a really outstanding nationally known luthier Dake Traphagen. Dake's marvelous shop is just five minutes away in our urban village of Fairhaven. Today I dropped in on him to test my new humidity meter against his proven ones and found him giving a "physical exam" to a guitar that he had built five years ago for Zach Van Lue. Zach told us that he had taken this instrument to Egypt, played it while boating on the Nile, Imagine the miles, the humidity changes and the stresses it has seen. Dake pronounced it fit and sound, a testament I am sure to its superior construction.
If you are looking for a top end guitar give Dake a jingle.
