Luthier John Kincade

[smoochimoto]

I have a luthier friend who wants me to help him with his enterprise (semi-skilled labor in exchange for learning how to build acoustic guitars). He has made a big deal out of having been trained by, and attended many luthier seminars by a man named John Kincade when he lived in the UK. (Kingsdown, I think) I am having difficulty tracking down photos of this gentleman's guitars. Since we are separated by a common language, I thought maybe I had spelled his name incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated. My friend also said Mr. Kincade had written a book I should take a look at, so I would appreciate any spelling corrections and any thoughts on his guitars.

Thanks,
Smoochimoto

I recall that he named his guitars Kinkade because everybody spelt the name incorrectly
