Jim Deurloo got around!

"Later that month, former Gibson plant manager Jim Deurloo reached an agreement that the company would continue to keep making and repairing guitars, banjos and mandolins in Kalamazoo "as long as it was profitable."

"Heritage Guitars was founded in 1985 by three former employees of the Gibson guitar factory, Jim Deurloo, Marv Lamb, and JP Moats."


Wow, the guy who used to be Al's plant manager.

What am I missing here?

Pages 16 to 19 of "The Guild Guitar Book" will explain.
That's him: https://www.namm.org/library/oral-history/james-deurloo

But no idea why it came up just now...

Fairly intense Guild Gibson connection, maybe unknown to many.

Very nice picture of him with the boss at the Guild factory in Hans's book.
