That would be terrific, Fred... Anything you think would be appropriate for a tribute article. Hopefully, something where he isn't too much in the background.

Many thanks,

Hello All,

I think I have all I need at this point. What a great resource!!

Thanks again, John

All,

I'll vouch for the quality of Magnatone's higher-end steel guitars. My Waikiki workhorse is the longscale D-8 Keoki mentioned above. The story I heard was that Magnatone gave away a bunch of the ...

The Deluxe is overall my favorite amp of all time. I've used it on most recordings, and here in Hawaii, it would be a fantastic live amp since most of the music here is low-volum ...

Hill,
