As the former owner of the Mossman Guitar Company, Scott
tends to see quite a few Mossman's for repairs. Approximately 5000 Mossmans were
produced from 1969 - 1985 and Scott built 250 instruments when he owned the
company from 1985-1990. Owners of "Baxendale" Mossmans include: Willie Nelson,
John Mellancamp, Jorma Kaukonen, Donovan, Greg Lake, Carl Perkins, James Burton,
Chris Hillman, B.J. Thomas, and Travis Tritt.
