I just picked up an old guitar cheap at a local auction,figuring to use it on camping trips and other places I wouldn't take a "good" guitar. When I got it home I noticed an old string tag with a $525.00 price on it for this guitar. It was made by a luthier named Bill D. Casselberry,whom I've never heard of and can't find in a google search. Anybody out there ever heard of this luthier,or have advice on where to research this guitar?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Also, try this on the eBay Outlook forum

The guitar sounds and looks good,and is very easy to play. I got it at an auction in Kalispell,MT. for under $40.00. It has a bit of a musty odor,like it's been stored in its case for a long time. From a reciept I found in the case,t was bought in 1991 from Amazing Grace Music in San Anselmo.CA. ,so I guess I should try calling them to see if they're still there and know anything about this guitar and its maker. Thanks for the suggestions.

I called the shop and it's still the same owner as in 1991 when the guitar was purchased,but the only thing he could tell me about the luthier is that he's not a local. Oh,well,it's a nice guitar and I'll enjoy playing it,and some year someone will say, " cool,you have a Casselberry-- my ex-wives third cousin twice removed had one of those".
Thanks for the help,folks.
