Hello Craig.
Just spoke with Dale about the Skyhawk. He has no personal knowledge of the guitar. He checked the logbook and
the S/N G015990 was left blank. The date on the print posted by Yo Eleven is 6-15-84 which closely corresponds to
the time line. According to Dale the next listed S/N (G015991) in the logbook has a date of 6-18-84. Dale also
mentioned that prototypes and special build guitars occasionally did not get listed in the logs. His thoughts are that
it may have been a special build since there is a print. He brought up the name Buddy Kendricks which also resided in
Garden Grove Ca. (the present location of the guitar). The late Mr. Kendricks was heavy into the synthesizers of the
time and a few G&L instruments were built specifically for him. Whether or not this particular guitar was built for or
belonged to Mr. Kendricks is speculation at this point.
Approximately 3 months ago a G&L sold on ebay with a similar, if not the same Roland set-up. At the time I didn't give
it much thought. I'll check my records to see if I saved any info or photos of it.
Gabe called me last evening and we spoke of this guitar. He knew of the prints that were posted and the existence of
this guitar. He said he is unaware of anymore specifics including the past or present owner.
Regards
Larry
