I really don't know much about Brent Mason nor his music. But a guy that I have taken some Skype lessons with, Steve Krenz, has a Brent Mason Valley Arts Telecaster. Interesting contradiction because if you read that story its a Tele type guitar made for a while by Gibson.
I know Steve loves the guitar.
