Stuart Mossman
Stuart Mossman (May 13, 1942 – March 2, 1999) was an American guitar maker, entertainer and entrepreneur who built 6,000 guitars from 1968 to 1984 that were played by several professional guitarists, including John Denver, Eric Clapton, Albert Lee, Doc Watson, Hank Snow, Cat Stevens and Merle Travis.〔("Stuart Mossman, 56, Guitar Maker to Stars" ) March 3, 1999, The New York Times.〕〔("The S.L. Mossman Story" ), guitarplayer.com〕 Mossman's work is seen as the foundation for today's generations of Luthiers who build guitars from fine tone woods.〔http://www.independent.com〕
==Background==
Mossman was born in Hinsdale, Illinois, on May 13, 1942. He began making nylon-string guitars in 1961 and spent several years designing 40 to 50 prototypes in his garage in Winfield, Kansas.〔("History of Mossman Guitars" ) mossamon-guitars.com〕 Mossman took his first steel-string flat top to legendary acoustic singer/songwriter Doc Watson and asked for his "brutal" opinion. Watson gave it to him, and Mossman took his advice and applied it to his next design. He took another guitar to Watson at the 1969 Philadelphia Folk Festival, where, this time, the guitarist used it on stage, and reportedly told Mossman it was the "second best guitar he'd ever played."〔 In 1970 Mossman moved his operations to Strother's Field just outside of Winfield and it was there that he established S.L. Mossman Guitars. Using old-world building techniques, top-quality woods, and a proprietary bracing structure, Mossman guitars entered series production in the early 1970s.〔
