The comment that I was a long term employee of Music Man is incorrect. We couldn't build Music Man and Earthwood so we put Earthwood on the shelf in favor of Muisc Man. In the early eighties Dan Norton and Ron Saul started making a redesigned Earthwood Bass and half scale soprano acoustic guitars in a space adjacent to our string making factory in San Luis Obispo. The original factory was in Newport Beach California, not San Luis Obispo. We could sell the Earthwoods, George and crew had a hard time making them and then when they were made they had quite a few durability issues. Music Man and George Fullerton went on to have conflicts with George and so we weerne't in rare air there. Grover was not a luthier to begin with but was a quick learner.Д®arthwood was shut down the first time due to conflicts with George Fullerton and my father. I have known Grover jackson since he was an Anvil Case rep in the 70's, before he ended up with Wayne Charvel and later jackson. In the eighties we made so few and were so backordered this wasn't even close to a valid point. It is obvious a loyal forumite contributed but there are several errors and issues I have with this.ДЎ. Dargin sent me a link of Wikipedias segment on Music Man.
