My grandfather worked building pianos for Baldwin. He was hired by Shot and Buddy to build four acoustic guitars and an electric one. He put the heart, club, spade and diamond on necks and then gave the four prototypes to each of his children. I have my mom's which has the hearts on it. Sadly, the diamond was pawned after my aunt passed away. I have been offered top dollar but I won't sell. Such an honor to have a piece of musical history.
