Those necks look delicious. I love the tint and the binding + dots.

Here is pdf of a VGM "Different Strummer" article about Wurlitzer guitars and their connection to Kustom guitars.

She is too young to be called a cougar. I like those guitars. They're Wacky with W

Isn't it strange how many instrument companies who were never quite able to branch out? They could have just tried to poach someone who had left the other companies. I am sure it was lack of vision or resourcefulness at the top. But who knew Fender would someday own the entire world?

Wurlitzer was the distributor for guitars made at the Holman-Woodell factory in Neodesha Kansas which also made guitars under other names like AlRay and La Baye
