I would agree with Paul on this after spending 30 years on the road and working in bands where the guitar player can get away with about anything and the artist wants the steel just like the record.

I agree with all of the above. Gary's playing was amazing. Like Bill, I've gone out to hear Gary several times and just can't get enough. His Rains was crystal clear. All the way to the end of the fre ...

Congrats Brett. Nothing like a new guitar, (hopefully with some extra changes) to inspire your playing to grow. Keep up the good work.
