"I have always been a fan and I have several cases from the early 90's. They have lasted this long, now that's an endorsement!"
"Now, more than 3 years later, they all look exactly the same, not a scratch, tear, broken zipper or strap!! I'm in Europe now and basically touring until January 2nd. I will send updated photos when I get home but please tell he world that I wouldn't trust my guitars, which I love and treasure, in any other case!!! " -Mark Whitfield
Mark Whitfield's career as a jazz guitarist has afforded him the opportunity to collaborate with many legendary artists including Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Clark Terry, Jimmy Smith, Carmen McCrae, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Jack McDuff, Betty Carter, Shirley Horn, Ray Charles, Gladys Knight, Burt Bacharach, Joe Williams, Wynton Marsalis, Bradford Marsalis, Stanley Turrentine, and his greatest teacher and mentor George Benson.

Blige, Chaka Khan, John Mayer, Jill Scott, Roy Hargrove, Diana Krall, Lauryn Hill, Sy Smith, and Chris Botti.
