The original owner of this guitar was John Hurd. I bought the guitar from him shortly before I went to work in Hawaii in early 1964. It was originally 8 string necks but John rebuilt the middle neck (C6th) into a ten string using an A on the top string (G on the second) and added two more pedals. When I bought my Finger Tip D-10 "Bud" in early 1966 (which I still use) and moved back to B.C. in late '67, I sold the triple neck to Chris Crobaugh. He plays under that name of Chic Donnor and is now a lawyer in Ohio. When he left Hawaii he sold it to a "local" fellow and as far as he knows, it's still over there. The girl singer is Jerry Ray. She's from Texas but I've lost contact with her over the years.
