I've known Steve for a few years and have shared many shows with him, most recently in Minneapolis just a couple weeks ago. He's a fine player and a good guy. He has a brand new album out on the Paradise of Bachelors label (getting great reviews) and he's touring behind it now with a three-piece band.
(Saw him in Boston this past Monday -- really fine show -- catch him if you can.)
Steve did some gigs in Russia earlier this year. He took a taxi to or from one of his shows. They arrived at his destination, Steve paid the driver, got out of the cab, only to have the driver speed off with all his stuff in the trunk, including his Guild. Not sure which one that was, but it's gone. (I always keep my guitars with me in the car when traveling by cab.)
Not sure, but I believe he's touring with a D35 now, as well as an electric arch-top hollow body Guild, maple.
