Default Lance Kragenbrink

I've discovered Lance Kragenbrink aparantly stoped making guitars several years ago but I can't find any info re. what happened. Some of the members here have had and loved his guitars. Anyone know anything?

Yes, Lance hasn't made guitars in a long while. Per correspondence with him: "no building in my future until time allows". He's been working at refunding down payments for those of us who signed up for builds 10+ years ago. Last I heard, he still has his home workshop and all the tools, so it's possible he may start up again some day.

His original website got hijacked or hacked or stolen - but you can look over his stuff at: http://kragenbrinkguitars.ddns.net/

His blog (http://kragenbrinkguitars.blogspot.com/) has one entry in 2014, after regular posts in 2008.

Thank you desert2000. Thats unfortunate. He's an amazing luthier and I hope he gets back into it.
