Cougar Steel Guitars ( out of buisness ? )

Gary Schuldt · Post by **Gary Schuldt** » 21 Jan 2003 2:58 pm

Can anyone in the forum tell me if anyone has any information on Cougar Steel Guitars, since Freeman Cowgar's Passing last August?
I have tried calling, and sent e-mails, but have recieved no answer. I would just like to know if someone bought the company using another name, or if Freemans family closed the buisness.
I would appreciate any information. I own one of Freeman's guitars, it's a fine instrument.
Thank You,
Gary Schuldt

Hello Gary, where is Lyons? I live in Walton, south of Oneonta, east of Binghamton in Delaware County. I have a Cougar Elite SD10 with 3 and 5, nice guitar. I see the Cougar web site is still up but don't know if anyone is running the business or not...Stop in at my Music Shop if you are ever close. Larry Jamieson, Walton, NY
