Stiles Solid Body Electric

[tulacat]

Hi,

I am new to the forum and wanted to get some info on a recent acquisition. I picked up a solid body "Strat" style guitar that was done by G. L. Stiles. There is limited info out there on him and his guitars and I would appreciate any you may have to offer. I will try to upload some pics in the next couple of days.

I have already seen the Vintage Guitar magazine piece on him and have read the bio in the Blue Book.

Many thanks for your time.
