Learning Ukulele with Curt
Harrison Archtop Guitars
Grant MacNeill and Dan Charman opened The Twelfth Fret in June of 1977 at 920 Kingston Road in Toronto’s Beach area. The building had been a mandolin and guitar workshop since the 1950s and was an ideal setting for our new shop. To start, the emphasis was entirely on the workshop; repairs, restoration and custom guitar building. Retail sales of guitars and amplifiers was strictly a sideline. Dan and I met at Fender, working together in 1975 in the Fender warranty workshop. Dan left The Fret in 1982 when he moved to the Gulf Islands of British Columbia where he operates an organic farm and still plays his ’57 Martin D-18 guitar.
