Jason Lollar

Jason Lollar

When seeking a handcrafted guitar or pickup, knowing the artisan behind the work is crucial. Jason Lollar graduated from Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in Phoenix, Arizona in 1975, and has enjoyed life as a professional luthier, ever since. Besides designing and producing extraordinary archtop, solid-body electric and lap steel guitars, Jason is a noted authority on nearly everything related to electric pickups. He is the sole author of Basic Pickup Winding and Complete Guide to Making Your Own Pickup Winder and contributed to Bart Hopkin’s Getting A Bigger Sound: Pickups and Microphones for Your Musical Instrument.

Professional musicians and instrument manufacturers look to Jason’s products to get superior sound. His client list—which includes many internationally known artists—is growing exponentially.

Individual design, and a master craftsman’s passion and attention to detail, mark the tailored guitars produced by Lollar. Five styles await the discerning artist: Concert, Performer, Kona, Koa V and, of course, the Classic. Each of these is sure to please the serious musician. Quality and a uniquely uplifting excellence are hallmarks of all these finely detailed instruments.

Jason Lollar also produces amazing and highly sought after pickups, for electric, bass and steel guitars. With 36 different types, Lollar is sure to offer the exact sound to match the musician and his instrument. He not only knows design and production—Lollar has made understanding the issues, the history, the folk lore—the heart and soul—of pickups his passion and profession.

As a special service, Jason offers pickup rewinding restoration for old, broken coils. True to his principals, he discourages tinkering with functioning units—calling such efforts “an exercise in futility.” Nevertheless, those wishing to bring dead coils back to life, will find a friend in Lollar.

Ultimately, folks who just like to strum on a guitar can find less expensive materials that are “good enough.” However, for the musician who knows that a guitar is more than a tool, and a pickup is more than an attachment, Jason Lollar’s boutique design and production offerings will surprise and delight!

Phasing Out

Dr. Norm Culver Dr. Norm Culver, lecturer, author and consultant, practiced dentistry for 37 years, before completing his own successful dental transition from full time dental practice into retirement. His transition allowed him the free time and money to take extended vacations as well as live half-time at an island home. His transition was so successful that he is using his knowledge to help other dentists do the same.

If you’re thinking about phasing out or retiring, Norm Culver, DDS, has a proven method for accomplishing this transition successfully. It’s not a conventional partnership, but a temporary arrangement with a highly beneficial return for both you and the buyer. Hear the Real Story - not from a broker - but from a Dentist.

You can choose to attend a dental seminar where you will gain the practical insights needed to transition your practice from one of the nation’s leading educators and consultants to dentists. Dr. Culver will show you how to take in a younger dentist while you phase out gradually and more lucratively. Seminars are offered in several locations around the U.S. Each location has two sessions - the Basic Seminar in the morning for dentists who want a detailed presentation of the process and, immediately following, the Advanced Seminar for those interested in taking their retirement planning to the point of execution.

If you would prefer a more personal approach, Dr. Culver offers personal dentist consultation services which are designed to help dentists through any portion of a dental practice sale or transition process. These services can either be provided on an “as needed” basis or as a “complete guide” through the entire process. The objective is to provide individualized consultation for each dentist’s particular needs rather than the full service usually provided by dental brokers.

These personal services will help you with:

  • Initial, general planning for the determination of which type transition to pursue.
  • Specific and definitive planning for the formation of the chosen arrangement.
  • Positioning of a practice for an upcoming transition.
  • Office visits and evaluation concerning a transition.
  • Sources for finding a quality candidate.
  • Writing and placing an effective ad.
  • Screening applicants and matching parties together.
  • Negotiating with the parties and skirting the common pitfalls.
  • Forming the legal agreement.
  • Finding a qualified attorney-and the right broker.

For more information, go to http://www.phasingout.com/ or contact Dr. Culver at 1-877-425-5837.

Lasik Surgery

Until recently, if you were one of the millions of people with a refractive error, eyeglasses and contact lenses were the only options for correcting vision. But with the arrival of refractive surgery, some people with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism (a cornea with unequal curves), may have their vision improved through surgery.

Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, is a refractive procedure that uses an automated blade and a laser to permanently reshape the cornea. The reshaped cornea helps focus light directly onto the retina to produce clearer vision.

Eye Craft, LLC, also provides patients with Custom LASIK surgery; a procedure that involves the use of a wavefront analyzer and enables your surgeon to customize the Conventional LASIK procedure to your individual eyes. This customized procedure can result in patients seeing clearer and sharper than ever before.

Dr. Dean Conger
Dr. Conger is a caring surgeon that wants his patients to make informed, educated decisions about their eye care. At Eye Craft, LLC’s website, http://www.eye-craft.com/, Dr. Conger provides a wide variety of pages and links designed to help individuals be better educated about their eyes, vision, and many related subjects.
