Tom, It was made by Gary Rittenberry, the same builder as the Rittenberry of today. The later one's were built by some else and not as well built as Gary's.

Hey Bill & Ben (fellow Ritt brothers),

Is this Nashville a Gary built guitar, or was it built by the "other" fellow? If this is a Gary guitar, it's priced currently at an absolute "steel of a steal" deal! Oh yes, it looks and sounds like an Emmons.

I checked with Gary and this is one that he made. It being the Doug Jerigan model, gary was the one to build these. I might add to settle some questions about the LTD.I don't beleave Doug Jerigan would have played on if they were'nt a great steel, which they are.

I talked to the owner of this guitar and he purchased it from a former player.
He has everything that goes with it.Nashville 400, Matchbro + bar, volume pedal, seat, etc etc.
He told me that this Journigan model is in new condition.

Man, this could be a great starter package for a beginning steel player or a pro that wants something new.
Wish I had the money for it.I would buy it in a split second.

I've also got a DJ model. Sweet sounding guitar although mine doesn't have a LTD sticker yet.
