March 7, 2017 turned out to be a glorious day for our museum. On that day the museum received an email (see below) from LB Fred one of the authors –  originally his project – of the legendary Epiphone book “The House of Stathopoulo”.

I can honestly say, that reading his book was the starting point for what now is the Dutch Archtop Guitar Museum. I spent hours and hours reading the book over and over again. And always discovering something new, that was overlooked before.

So one can imagine how thrilled I was,  when I received an email from the author himself offering as a donation lots of photo’s that were the foundation for his great book. Thanks LB !
