The Four Seasons
SummerAutumnWinterSpring
A comment of Oleg's got me looking at Manzer guitars, then D'Aquisto. All of them seem to be tied up in private collections or museums. This led me to Monterleone who is another great artisan. I was aware of the Four Seasons guitars but I'd never looked at them together. Close inspection apparently reveals them to be jewellery.
Knopfler got one and this song popped out. If I was the luthier, I'd be pretty chuffed.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

The master. Both he and Manzer spent time learning with Jimmy D'Aquisto before his untimely passing in 1995.
Need to get this album..

Re: The Four Seasons
All 4 guitars are at the Met, but I believe Knopler owns this one, or so google tells me.
