Nate Westgor
Nate Westgor - Orphaned in high school, Nate Westgor went on to do what his parents feared…he sang in various rock bands and toured across the Midwest. He began finding vintage guitars and reselling them in Chicago as well as doing guitar repair for The Sound Post.
​
Moving to St Paul in 1986 he brought his reputation and love for vintage and repairs with him. Willie DelMar was a stage name given him by “The Hornets” his last band in Chicago.
