Pete Alenov. Pete's Guitar. He had an all-star clientele: Harrison, Clapton, Dylan etc. Died in a car accident.
His brother ran the Russian Tea House next door. It's still in business.
I bought my Les Paul Signature Guitar from Pete, just a few months before the car accident. He hit a tree just off of HWY 100 & Minnetonka BLVD. He was on his way back from a Jonny Lang concert, if I recall correctly. There was talk of George Harrison buying his shop, at least that was the buzz from the other local guitar shops.
I was at Willie's a week ago last Saturday, after the Anoka Swap Meet. First time in quite a while. Checked out the Epiphone, noticed that the '53 EB had sold... Nate had a very early Fender Broadcaster, he forced us to try it! It made me a bit nervous, even though it was worth a lot less than an original Les Paul. I see he hasn't listed it on his web page...
