B.Carlson must have been hired after I left. There was only Gene & I in final set up. I have seen Tags from "claimed" 1990 guitars with "B.C" on the tag as well as 1991+ with "B.Carlson" sigs.
This is stretching my memory of my short time there now.
Gene's cousin started working there just before Leo passed. I forgot his name but he was still there when I left. So he couldn't be the B.C on some of the tags from late '90 up to a few months into '91 unless said guitars were actually later '91's. (did that make sense?)
I didn't see Gene's cousin lasting too long there due to him & Gene bumping heads a few times a week, cousin was an assertive aggressive dude, lol.
But if he is in fact B.C then good for him..
BTW, what kind of price tag do you think those guitars are going to have?
Thanks, Jim

I should think cost wouldn't be too much of an obstacle. Of course it varies depending on the model but some of the older G&Ls are a ludicrously good bargain. It's possible you could find one at something like $650-800. The tricky part will be finding one with the inspection tag you're looking for. I imagine those are often lost over time.
Good Luck!
