Bman ,wonderful article and you've captured the essence of what the Guitar Lab represented as on of the only shops of it's kind in that time period.
There are quite a few time line gaps and missing important fact that must be addressed to keep the story on point.
I would appreciate if you would correctly list Sherwood (Woody)Phifers current company name Phifer Guitars ( NOT Phifer Designs) and is located in Kingston New York the web site is Phiferguitars.com
I would love to contribute some missing info form 1971 -1975 about the day to day operation and other individuals that were part of Guitar Lab that have been omitted who were part of this story.
Give me a call and I'll fill in some crucial facts that are missing.
All the best to you
