| But then all the mistique would be gone. (or is it mustique) I guess I didn't learn all that much at Old Glory school. I was in the top and bottom half of my graduating class (#3 out of 5) |

| I've been to Bruce's house when he lived in Raytown, Mo (a KC suburb). His "factory" was basically his garage. A lot of the machine work, at the time, was being done at a different location. |

Russ Wever at Bruce's using his special pedal rod antennae to contact Planet Ork for some new hot licks!
Transmission successful! Now its time to get serious to translate Ork speak to steel speak.
Masters of the craft learning from each other and expanding upon the seemingly limitless possibilities of the instrument we so cherish!

We could call them BENT Guitars!!!....Our motto could be..GET BENT!....ROFL
I have to say...Ive rebuilt several ZumSteels over the last several months, and they are fine, fine instruments...Bruce builds a great guitar no doubt..

That's right Mickey! What neat slogan. I can just see people lining up to get (a) Bent
So far though, BenRom rings nice too 
Yes, Bruce's guitars are some of the best in the world. The more I see and hear the more I like.
I would love to apprentice at a place like Bruce's
