If this is the David Cullen that was on the Windham Hill Guitar Sample, I have what I think is his first recording (on cassette) called "Blue Counterpoint"....
Unless he's switched instruments, Ralph's classical guitar was made by Jeffrey Elliott. The website is www.elliottguitars.com Unless he's changed, Ralph's...
That sounds right. Wish I could remember where I got the original info. It described his guitars (I forgot about the Guild) and his preferred luthier. Looks...

Well, I'd made a couple of pickups for the 12 strings around 1989 or 90....it would be cool if he was still using them. In fact, he even endorsed the...
