Good job Jimmie!
Andy, your probably correct, but here is what I read on Roys site for that "hint"

"When I first started, I was often asked why I built instruments in the old fashioned way--each guitar built by one craftsman. In 1962 when i started my career as a luthier, I was one of a very few group of luthiers making handcrafted steel string guitars. I taught many of my contemporaries to guitar builders, These days when we are in the middle of a renaissance in handcrafted guitar making, that question is not asked so often."

Also from His website
Roy Noble began building musical instruments in 1959 at the age of sixteen.
His first efforts were classical and flamenco guitars from the Spanish school
of guitar construction as well as medieval lutes and violins.

In the summer of 1963 Roy began building steel string guitars. But unlike
the other steel string luthiers, Roy added his knowledge of classical guitar
and violins to their construction. Roy Noble led the first wave of
contemporary steel string luthiers, and still today his knowledge and
craftsmanship have no equal.

Excellent. I hope my prize is on the way. I'm developing a proprietary finish (TOLFP) and this will come in very handy.
