The Story Behind

 

About the Builder:

Gary L. Jacobs is a one man show luthier, who sold his guitars through Ed Roman starting in 1999. Very few are around. Those guitars compare very favorable against PRS.

About the Guitar:

Ed Roman, who had this guitar for sale in his Las Vegas shop, remembers:

"Buck Dharma was in the store recently picking out several new guitars.  He had played a Jacobs once before at a show in White Plains N.Y. & he asked me to bring it to the gig along with 2 other guitars.

BOC was playing one of the big Casinos in Vegas and it was a sold out show so no tickets were available. Buck was cool enough to supply us with 15  backstage passes to the show that night. Needless to say my whole crew went to the show.

When we got there Allen Lanier who mostly does keyboards picked up the Jacobs and simply would not put it down.  I don't think Allen even went near his keyboards the whole show.  Eric Bloom who usually plays 2nd guitar played most of the keyboard parts.  It was a different show than I had ever seen. I have seen BOC at least 25 times.   And I hope to see them at least another 25 times."
