It is interesting to look at several of Glen's guitars to see how he re-positioned his pickups. It suggests, that Glen tinkered with the pickups to customize the sound he wanted. This picture shows a stock Mosrite Mark 1 Double Neck and Glen's. You can clearly see that Semie had shaped the base of t...

That decision was probably hard to swallow beginning around 68/69 So Glen p...

Odd that they are selling it. Cal has gone to quite some trouble to promote it, as a producer, in the past year. https://www.facebook.com/agouraborealis/ But I see that the website that he devoted to its' promotion is now just a contact #. I always thought the studio was in the house... The 3-car ga...

The Musical Instrument Museum [/color] , 4725 E Mayo Blvd, Phoenix, Arizona, appears to have scored a couple of Glen's guitars and his bagpipes. The guitars appear to be his Viper , which he played religously on tour and his Deluxe Balladeer , which was Ovations first signature guitar for GLen. They...
