Just bought 2. TC has an excellent ear for tone, so I am guessing these will sound great! At this price it's worth a shot fer sure IMO.

If you ever get to Chicago you are welcome to play one of mine. They both played great and sound good too! Several guys around town here have them.

Gold metallic!

So many, but for me Papa John just owned this one...

My current rig is super portable and sounds great to me. I have not needed more power/sound yet. Emmons Student 3x4, Emmons pot VP, Silver Deluxe Reverb w/ JBL, Sho-Bud Pak-a-Seat. 3 items, 2 easy hau ...

Are there any workshops planned?

Man oh man is that good. Anybody know what Gary (I think) is doing at 3:10? He resolves the chord with higher notes raising and lower descending. Gorgeous!

I got to check out a '67 cut-tail and all I can say is "Wow" just what I was looking for. Pick-ups were around 15k and the guitar sounded very different from later PP's I have played. More & ...

I'd be interested in this. I live in Chicago and know a few players here. I have a studio space and could host every once in a while. P.m. me if you want to talk

One thing that made all the difference when I was starting out was to have a more experienced player help you bend the picks in the right shape. There are several ways people like, but many like the p ...

I'm 6'4" with 35" inseam. I bought 2" lift kits from Steel Guitars of Nashville, but the homemade options should work as well. I play in western boots and have a Emmons Student model an ...

Thanks everyone, particularly Chris for his detailed post (as usual)! I currently have a gold lacquer student model I believe is from the mid-late 60's. It has a great, chimey tone I love, but I would ...

Hello all,

I am curious as to opinions regarding older PP cut-tails (late 60's) vs newer. Are there many variations regarding design changes from '68 to 80's models? I am an old 6 string armpit gui ...

Email sent with contact info for both Brian and Ken

...and that's exactly why I send my guitars to Mike.

One more Mike Cass! Took my old, trashed 60's student model and made her sing! Great guy, too!

I am posting this for curiosity's sake - not with the intention of promoting this sale. I just saw this guitar and thought it was unusual:

What a great event! Nicely done Matt, TC, and everyone who helped!

Well, I had a great time seeing Jim and Jody at the Stagecoach. What a fantastic venue and great band. Jim of course was killing it and it was nice to meet him.It was so great to see so many people ke ...

Thanks! I'll be checking them out tomorrow.

Bump for this weekend. There has got to be some good steelin' going on somewhere...

Thanks, Brad. That was my understanding of the steel amps as well. I'm just wondering if there are any non-steel amps that might be a nice bargain steel amp. Were the early Bandits discrete? Just curi ...
