As a minor side note to the above story, among others I was one of the people who had drawn on that prototype guitar of Doc's, and possibly also Roy's artist friend Peter Spoecker and Roy himself. Pete had been enjoying some success selling posters of self-drawn free-association style "psychedelic art" done with black Rapidograph pens, and had introduced Roy and a few of his close friends to the concept of all getting stoned together, doodling for a while, then periodically exchanging papers with each other until everyone had drawn something on every sheet. I still have a couple of those shared sketches, including a self-portrait Roy did where he's got small "balloons" coming out of his mouth, each proclaiming a single word: "faith", "pot", "hate", "peace", and "love"!

He made me something along the lines of a D-28, with some great inlays, around 1970. Sadly, some thief broke into my house and took it and everything else. When I told Roy about the theft, he got a little pale and mumbled something about not being interested in re-producing it. I didn't blame him. It took him a long time to put that thundering box together. It never showed up in any guitar or pawn shop as far as I know. The thief probably hung it on a wall facing the sun so the inlays would glint. Keep the stories coming, Al. Great to read something about Roy Noble.
