That Aragon belongs/ed to Mike Dowling. It is one of 15 we know in existence. Probably as many as 50 might have been made but more than likely less than that. The one you can see in the film (with the stripped coverplate) is probably one of the first made. I say that because it has groups of 5 slots making up the coverplate design. All other known Aragons have groups of 3 slots (obviously much less work!). These slots were painstakingly all cut by hand and probably resulted in the rather common (but wrong) story that ...."MOST wooden coverplates broke and were replaced with metal Collegian plates". In actuality - of the 15 guitars we know of, only ONE of them has a metal replacement plate. That is the one pictured in Brozman's book. All the others have perfect plates.

On a side note, that's a fine guitar Mr. Dowling playing.
