OK Guys, Here's my Beautiful New Ritt. Gary did a
fantastic job, making it exactly perfect to fit me.
I think this is the finest steel I've ever owned.
Flags on all knee levers, very smooth action and
so much easier for me to play. Everything is polished
and looks like chrome. I told him, that I wanted it
to sound like my LeGrande's, and "WOW" it really does.
It has an Alumitone p/u in it now, and love the sound.
Thanks so much Gary, your the man. Love ya' bro.

Thanks Ben, It's a beauty for sure. It's already my favorite.
Hi Roger, it sure was nice meet you. It's a bit different now.
Got shorter legs and rods, flagged knee levers and a Lace pickup.
Next time you hear me, I'm sure I'll be able to play much better.

Hi Bill, Many thanks, and yes I do feel very "Lucky" as my name says.
I finally got one I can really enjoy, and it's so smooth and easy to play.
Hi Steve, Thanks, I like the emblem a lot better than a decal. If you
like it, why don't you give Gary a call and see if he'll make you one.
Hey Brother Bill, I'm very happy. Jean says, I'll probably sell one of
my LeGrands III's and have Gary build me another one just like this one.
A woman that I'm teaching, already called Gary, she loves mine and wants
to get one just like it, but maybe she'll get something other than black.
I think next time you hear me play, you'll notice some improvement.

Mike my friend, I agree with you on all counts, and your LeGaritt
is a masterpiece also. I love the sound of it, and if I could play
10% as good as you do mine would sound even better. Yesterday I let
3 good steel players that own Emmons and Derby's try it out, and they
all loved it. They all agreed that it's as good as they've ever seen or played.
They sure played some good licks, and I hope some of them stayed on it.
All I can add is, with God's help, this Ritt and your DVD's, by this time next
year, I think I'll be able to play about as good as I did before my accident.
Hey, Love Ya' Bro. Keep up the great work of helping others like me.
Carl "Lucky" Kilmer

Charlie my friend, Yours and mine sure look very simular.
I guess we both enjoy the same beauty on a steel guitar.
I never liked black on a steel, but I like it on this one.
OK Bent, here you go. Just took these for you. Carl
