He is a member of the Guild of American Luthiers (GAL) and the Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans (ASIA). ==Awards== Lichty Guitars was the overall winner in ''Garden & Gun'' magazine's "Made in the South" competition in 2010. 〔Haskell Harris and Donovan Webster (Made in the South ) Dec 10/Jan 11 Garden & Gun〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lichty Guitars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
