Hats off to Gary Rittenberry; he called Santa and I have a new playtoy.
For the Rittenberry guitar family; great tone and excellent workmanship. I couldn't have been any happier.

Hey Tommy,
Thats one more Great Sounding Machine you have there. I was over at Garys Shop when he was finishing your Guitar up. And Man does it have a TONE. I also love that color. I know you will be happy with it and Gary is a great guy to deal with. He cares about his Guitars and the People who buy them.
I think a lot of people will be suprised when they play and hear one of these Great guitars. Jody Cameron Already knows as well as Tommy. 
Happy Picking,
Steve

Thanks guys, I appreciate your imput.
The guitar is great playing an great tone. Gary has been great to deal with and no doubt he is very concerned about putting out a good guitar.
There are some great guitar builders out there, but it was hard to make the decision of what kind. Then, I played on Jody Camerons guitar and after three hours it didn't take me long to make the decision.
Gary said that he will be in Dallas in March, I will have my guitar there, come play on it.
See you there......... |

BEE UTI FULL!!
Tommy, nice color choice. Gary is a master craftsman for sure and he really turns out a superior guitar.
I know you are going to really be happy with it.
If you can, give us a sound clip of it too. I was going to do one of mine, but I could not get Bobbe off of it.

| As for me, it is the easiest playing, most forgiving guitar with killer tone that I could lay my hands on. Mine is the ebony colored brother to this one, or sister, whichever gender you prefer. |

Tuesday morning, I had the pleasure of having Jody Cameron over, not only for a visit, but to play on my new guitar. (Jody has a Rittenberry)
He was very much impressd by the tone quality and especially the mechanism and the way the guitar handles.
You owe it to yourself to play on this guitar. If everything works out for me, I will be in Dallas with my guitar and Jody will most likely brings his. Come play on it! Gary Rittenberry will be there also with all of his expertise and knowledge.
(Did I say it right, Gary???)
Don't miss Jody's set at the show; you will be in for a real treat. (Did I say it right, Jody???) |

Thanks Tommy for the wonderful visit and allowing me to play your new guitar (and the coffee and donuts were great too).
My Ritt plays so smooth that I could not believe that Gary has made some changes that allow for an even smoother feel than mine! The tone is identical to mine. One thing that I've noticed about Gary's guitars is the consistency in tone. They all sound virtually identical. I had seven different Emmons guitars and each sounded different from the next a bit.
Tommy's guitar plays and sounds every bit as beautiful as it looks! jc |

I got one of Gary's guitars a few months ago, and it's just beautiful sounding. I have gotten a lot of compliments on its tone and looks. Congratulations on a great choice. If I ever make any money I'll be getting another one.
