I'll second that Slack, very good reading and sleuthing by Todd. I hope to see the Fraulini Lonnie one day.

Nobody builds them like Todd. You have to admire the way he digs into the research aspects of these historic instruments like this project his copy of Lydia Mendoza's 12 string. All the aesthetics and detail work aside, they're also just great-sounding guitars.

Great story.  Great tune as well.

In 2014 I mentioned to Todd that he might want to try selling his guitars in my friend Mark Waldrop's store "Guitar Tex" in San Antonio. They spoke, and sure enough, Mark knew the very Acosta mentioned in the article, which is how Todd connected with him. Wheels within wheels in our very small world.
