The guitars of the late great Tony Zemaitis are the stuff of legend! And with good reason too -- they were played by some of the biggest names in the history of Rock and Roll. George Harrison, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, Eric Clapton amongst them -- Rock royalty does not get bigger than that!
Sadly, Tony Z passed on in 2002, but before he did, a gentleman named David Brewis contacted him with hopes of commissioning a guitar. Tony explained that he was now retired, and he would no longer be building, but he graciously offered Brewis one of his official jigs in which to build a guitar. Within weeks Brewis was given 10 jigs and patterns, and permission to build guitars with them utilizing the talents of luthier Kevin Parsons.
In so doing, Brewis was dubbed "Dave of England" and "Keeper of the Jigs and Keeper of the Patterns"!
