Hopefully i'll be getting my own soon. |

Wow, congratualations Bill. It bears a striking resemblence to this one, that was on display at Jim Palenscar's shop in Oceanside, last month.

Congratulations, Bill. After playing Mike Neer's Clinesmith in Dallas, I can understand your time away from the Forum.
We want audio now!!!

I'm going to be digging into this instrument in a big way. I'll report back as soon as I've had a chance to play it more, but first impressions are just how smooth it is and the sound is so impressive.
I've got c6 with the Junior Brown bottom string. Big difference from my Diana with the open E. Lot of transitioning to do. |

| Well, I've just spent the most enjoyable time behind a steel that I've ever had. The combination of the tuning and the instrument has opened up a huge window for me. I've been jamming to So What and old Grant Green cd's. Incredible. Not ready to post yet but getting close. |
