2004 Huss and Dalton MJC
This is the guitar that's featured in the calendar. It's a 2004 MJC (mini-jumbo cutaway). Guess who it was owned by? Read on.
I discovered this used guitar at Lark St. Music in NJ. I asked the owner, Buzzy if he could come down on the price. He replied that it was on consignment but he'd be happy to call the owner and ask if they would take my offer. Five minutes later Buzzy comes back and says, 'The owner wanted to know if the buyer was a professional musician and when I said yes she said then give it to him at his price.' Boy, was I happy about that. Buzzy said that the owner would be in touch.
Two weeks later I received a letter in the mail from the owner. Take a look at the next picture.

To Toby Walker,
I hope you get as much enjoyment from owning the Huss and Dalton MJC as I did. I found it to be a very versatile instrument, and especially enjoyed using it for my strange tunings - the cutaway helped immensely in certain cases. I hope it brings you many years of pleasure and musical inspiration.
With best wishes,

Here's a video of the guitar in action. I'm playing a song that was co-written by Jeff Steinberg and myself called 'Everything I Want.' It's on my latest CD - 'What You See Is What You Get' which you can check out on this link: WYSIWYG.
Here's the guitar in another setting... live at a club in Patchogue NY. I'm playing my version of the Allman Brothers classic... Whipping Post. This tune is on my CD - Speechless available on CD Baby.

The best part of all. My wife Carol had this custom truss rod cover made for me. Sweet.
