Sorry; me again (hopefully typing a little more carefully now). Now I know who you’re talking about. Try contacting the Musicians’ Exchange on South Tacoma Way as listed in this article (maybe you’ve see it already) http://www.weeklyvolcano.com/2007-04-26/sound-check/391/
I know someone who works there so I’ll try to find out more.

Sorry about my typo(s) above.
I beleive the Arcadia book on Music in Washingtom also talks about Strypes, but I don’t have a copy in front of me right now.

Another good local music historian if the gut who owns Golden Oldies Records in Tacoma, now located on 6th Ave.

I remember when they were big. If you don’t know the excellent pnwbands webise, there might be a few leads there.

I’ll ask a few of my buddies in case one of them might know. Rick at Guitar Maniacs (Tacoma) knows everything, so that might be another possible source.

I’ll ask Teddy next time I run into him, but he’s been kind of scarce lately.
