These guitars were made by hand by Lynn Ellsworth right here in Washington state back in the mid 70’s and off and on up until the mid ‘90’s. Eventually Lynn and his partner split up and his partner started Warmoth. I actually met Lynn in ’92 and showed him the guitar and he told me it was from the same batch that Eddie Van Halen’s Frankenstrat came from. You don’t hear much about these guitars except for Van Halen and Cantrell but around the Pacific Northwest you see them show up on Craig’s List occasionally.
