  • A bit of history: who is the "San Lee Guy" ?

    I'm curious to have some background info on him... is he THE Sam Lee that repaired Peter Green's "Greenie" and created that particular tone by chance...?

    If he's Possum's mentor, he's gotta be quite a bit of p'up maker's history... isn't it?

      between Sam Lee Guy, Rosy, and Belwar pickup winding certainly produces it's share of shadowy characters.

        I've heard he's a mysterious, and elusive character. A master of disguises that avoids being photographed. Fortunately one rare photo does exist.

              Belwar isn't shadowy. He's not even shady. After all, he's Canadian, and you never see them on the news here in the states...

                I doubt that Sam Lee is still alive.

                    Sam Lee

                    Still alive, yes, but what price did he have to pay! ... I found out the hard way ... it's best not to visit him after dark!

                        A hint that he may be in Australia perhaps. Well you might find he's returned to the UK.

                            I'm not sure if you are talking about Sam Lee, or Sam Lee Guy, but I can say with certainty that SLG is in the UK. ;-)
