Sometime ago I saw a diagram of the working of an Anapeg guitar,,along the pics of one being built in various stages of construction etc. I think it was done by Winnie Winston but I can't find it on his website. Anyone know where I saw it,,,or how to find it again???

Yeah - I seen that before (with all the outback queensland timber he personally selects!) and went back to find it and couldn't. It just disappeared. Work of Art.

If you guys wait a bit longer, my mate Ivan Posa will post up some photos of his new Anapeg which is due to be delivered soon ....after about a five year wait. I've seen a couple of preview snaps and it is just gorgeous !

The link that I think that you are referring to was posted by Winnie Winston and his site is no longer active since his passing. I have some pictures that I'm happy to pass along to those interested but none of the diagram of the working changer~

Jim, Karlis was thoughtful enough to save the diagrams,,,and then kind enough to send them to me!! I will forward them to you if you could send me the stuff you have. This forum is a REAL brotherhood huh,,,,,

Yes Jon the site is up,,but the pages that used to be there referencing Anapeg are no longer there,,,,or at least I couldn't find them.[This message was edited by Sonny Jenkins on 29 November 2006 at 11:58 AM.]

I am also surprised that there isn't a dedicated website hopefully after alot of talk of anapeg I would hope this could generate a web?

Zumsteel was without a site until last year or so as well, http://www.zumsteel.net

It would be great to have one for Anapeg, the page on Winnie's site was really nice and explained a bit about Noel's penchant for exotic woods, had some undercarriage shots as well as an instrument in progess (if I remember right...)

Well, since Noel is already backlogged many years, and not interested in volume production, he probably feels there's no real need to waste money advertising. (Can't say I blame him.) A few personal (word-of-mouth) referrals are all he needs to keep busy.

Hey Jim ,,Thanks for the pics,,,no, I didn't get the others,,sorry. That is one BEAUTIFUL guitar you have there!! Is it lacquer finish or ???

Ebb,,,Thanks man,,,I think that link is the one or similar to the one I was talking about,,Thanks again. I'll have to figure out a way to save it somewhere.

Posted: **30 Nov 2006 7:26 am**

Yes Sonny- Noel only does lacquer finished guitars, to my knowledge.

Thanks ebb!!![This message was edited by John McGann on 30 November 2006 at 07:40 AM.]

after looking at the link ebb provided looks like the finish is a polyuerethane over stain,,thought it looked like it but wasn't sure,,,,

Sonny,
Check your email. I am sending you a Anapeg Catalogue that I ran up on these guitars. I haven't been able to relocate the site. The address at the bottom of the catalogue [http://www.homeopathic.co.nz/anapeg/anapeg.html] gives me an error. This has a good clear drawing and pictures of the changer and guitar in various stages of completion. I would appreciate any info that you have on these guitars also. They are really pretty guitars.

Winston

Hey Winston,,yes I got the email and that was the one I was looking for,,,it was origally posted by Winnie and that was the link to one of his website,,guess it is down now,,,glad you saved that info,,as I will also. I don't have any more info on the Anapeg,,other than the photos that Jim sent me, which I will forward to you. Thanks again.
