Bill Maakestad playing a Muddy Creek Guitar! from John Draws on Vimeo.

Bill Maakestad, Lead singer and guitarist for The Blenders, plays a Muddy Creek Guitar during a performance of Amazing Grace. It was a lot of fun to see someone play one of my guitars! Bill bought his guitar back in June but has started playing it out recently.
