Now that's eye-candy! I'm sure you've broken several state and federal laws by posting that photo on the internet.  |

Hey Al, The Rittenberry weighs 34 lbs. It sounds and plays awesome. Even makes me sound good.
The under carriage on the Steel is just as awesome as the top. I can't say enough about Gary's workmanship.
Thanks BillD

| Congratulations Bill! She's a beauty. Now you're a member of a fine group who have discovered this great guitar. I like the white fret board, that's an interesting change from the usual. Enjoy my friend. |

Wow! That is really beatiful. Is that the first lacquer cabinet he's made? I've never seen one like that before. I will have my Rittenberry buried with me I think. Congratulations.

Gab, this is the second one. Gary built a SD10 for himself as an experiment.
Dick I would give it to you but I would have to come with it and I eat a lot.

Bill, that's a beautiful guitar! I got to see it up close and personal for two days in Dallas at the booth and you are right...the pic does not do it justice.
Gary builds a great steel guitar and I'm proud to own one. It has never let me down in any way in the studio or on the road in the past year, and I've had it all over the country, on planes, trains and automobiles, not to mention busses .
Congratulations my friend, sorry you could not make the Dallas show. Hope to see you next year, if not before. jc |

Thanks Jody,It just wasn't meant to be.Also thanks for inviting me to perform on your set, it meant a lot to me. It was like a black cloud was hanging over my wife and my head all last week. Anyway I do love my Steel. I feel lucky to have such a great Steel to play. I also feel fortunate to be able to represent such a fine person as Gary and his product at Shows. I'm trying to get the guys at Baxter Springs to invite you to thier show. I've sent a couple Emails but no response yet.
Later, and again thanks BD

Hey Bill, beautiful steel you got there! Just to let everyone know that our show in Baxter Springs, Kansas is still 7 months away and we haven't got started on it yet. I didn't get to make Dallas either so it looks like we missed a great show! Ray
