1977 SD Curlee Matsumoku factory

The name S.D Curlee came from the three original designers, Sonny (Storbeck), Randy (Dritz) and Randy (Curlee.) The company produced an estimated 15,000 handcrafted instruments including 12,000 bass guitars, between 1975 and 1982.

The guiding principle of the company as envisioned by Storbeck, Dritz and Curlee was that the guitar company should build a quality instrument at an affordable price for the user. The company began by building 100 instruments, 75 basses and 25 guitars) for the 1975 NAMM show.

These were truly handmade instruments.
