In 1982 +/- , I was at Wheatland Music Festival in Remus, MI. My family went for years—my sister still goes, annually.
I have a memory of handling an electric bass in one of the main vendor tents that had a scroll headstock and fretboard lights.
This lutherie ended up being inspirational in a couple of ways; the event details are foggy, though!
Anyone know who the builder might have been? It’s just as likely that it was Elderly or other retailer, and not a maker’s tent. Also—I don’t remember seeing other instruments... So it could even have been a random festival-goer’s instrument.
