The person who was reponsible for the acoustic steel guitar before Weissenborn was Chris Knutson. He built his first harp guitars in Port Townsend in 1895. By the early 1920's his designs included the predecessor of what we now know as one of the main guitars built by Henry Weissenborn in Los Angeles by 1925. Since I live in Port Townsend I think it is only fitting that I build a tribute guitar to his memory. Here goes!
