Yes, that would be from the same firm in Nazareth, Pennsylvania which produced the famed frets of the Martin guitar line. The legendary luthier once eschewed his saw and plane and to test and try his artistic hand at the torch! The results of course struck a chord in the hearts of riders throughout Pennsylvania from Emmanus to Trexlertown! Alas, an ill fated experiment in constructing a book matched Brazilian rosewood tandem resulted in a seizure of his framing jigs by the US Customs service and this great builder was relegated to confinement in flat top building history.

Adagio!
