Price is $3,000 plus shipping.
My leg has been saved to an amputation.It took
one and one-half years to heal.Yes,I am rusty.
I am also numb on the left foot,on the right side.
No B pedal,that I can feel.I have tryed an awful lot,
to no avail.I still have a new 1988 American strat,that I never played a gig with.My tele will keep me occupied.Here in Texas I have a ranch.I grow fire ants.
The Black single neck Jackson has never been gigged.About 8 to 9 hours on it.Built in tuner.
The wife says to keep trying.You get to know after awhile,what you need to do.
I was scared when I sold the Emmons,and the very nice Mullens. It,s not scary when you really know it,s time.
Sorry about the length.

| BILLY HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT SWITCHING YOUR B PEDAL TO A KNEE LEVER I DID THIS WITH THE C PEDAL F# STRING ONLY TO THE VERTICAL WITH A & B DOWN WORKS GREAT AND PUT THE FRANKLIN PEDAL IN THE THIRD POSITION. JUST SOME THOUGHT MIGHT WORK FOR YOU |

Your idea really is good.
I have thought for over a year about different ways
I could start playing again,with a different setup.
David at Jackson said they could set it up any way I would want.They are so nice.
If anyone has heard me say I could not tune the guitar ,They were right.
But. It was all me.80 days in the hospital had me on a different level of thinking from the norm.It not only tunes easy,but very fast.Bobby rains tried to tune it. He had a problem.Then I remembered I had put new strings on it ,just for something to do.But I did not play it after that for maybe 9 months.Every month I tried to play for an hour.Nothing worked at all.Now I have to start over and get what they are calling a heal bone,which is gone.I,m told there is nothing I can do about that.
So I really think I have had enough.
The cd,s I have been making are from memory only.
I don,t get any more E-mails from the new guy,s,and I have no flyin,s anymore.
Thankyou for your ideas, they mean alot to me.
Bill
