Tobias
Guitars was started in Orlando, Florida in April 1977. The first
serial number was 0178 - January 1978. After 578, I went back to 179.
My first shop name was The Guitar Shop. I sold that business in 1980
and moved to San Francisco to be partners in a short-lived
manufacturing business called Sierra Guitars. We made about 50
instruments. I left S.F. in May of '81 and started a repair shop in
Costa Mesa, Ca.

MTD
American basses are all 35" scale, 21 fret (plus 0 fret, 24
frets optional) bolt-on neck basses. These basses are available in 4,
5, 6, and 7 string configurations. The necks and bodies are available
in a variety of combinations. The standard finish is a catalyzed
acrylic urethane satin that looks and feels a lot like oil but is
many times harder without building great thickness. This allows the
bass to breathe, sounding more wooden. The bodies and necks are
ergonomically carved to allow comfortable access to the extended
scale bass.
