Hi Doug,  
 
This one's a different story - got details for you!  
 
top: Purpleheart  
back: Purpleheart  
neck: Maple Purpleheart and Beech  
fingerboard: Padouk (Vermilion)  
inlays: Mother of Pearl  
originally made for: not recorded  
birthday: October 8, 1976  
 
There's one registered owner in 1985 who said they bought it secondhand. They were in Virginia.  
 
Then I have a note from 1991 when you picked up the guitar.
“Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.”
Abraham Lincoln
