| Fessendens are really fine guitars - I have been playing them for quite a few years now and have been very satisfied. Jerry Fessenden has always been really helpful with any questions I've had. You done good. |

I've never seen one upclose and the only time I've heard a Fessy is Marty Muse playing one while backing up Robert Earl Keen as the opening act for Jimmy Buffet in Houston about 5 years ago.
I liked the tone......very much like a Sho-Bud.

I had one in a few weeks ago to change a couple of knee levers around. First one I had worked on. I was super impressed with the mechanics and sound. I would recommend one to anybody.

Hey Chris,
if you have still been playing your Dekley until now, I think you'll find this to be a much smoother feeling guitar, especially the knees. I'm very happy with mine.

| I am the owner of the one Clyde Mattocks in talking about. Its a super guitar, I will probably own this one a long time. Also Jerry Fessendsen is easy to reach and to talk to. |

I've had my Fessenden SD10 for a couple of years now. Good guitar! It stays in tune well, and as others have said the pedal and lever action is smooth. I went from a Wallace Truetone original to a Bill Lawrence humbucking pickup (model 705 perhaps, not sure)
Also, possibly of minor importance is that it's a cool looking steel guitar (I like the Steerhorn graphic on the front and fretboard). People who know very little about steel have commented to me about it at gigs. |

I too have a fessie SD10 with a bill Larence 710, think I have the right no's there. In my opinion it is a well built smooth playing and love that tone. I have had one minor issue which was easy to fix. I checked with some real steelers before I bought mine and got good raves all around. Enjoy for many years to come

| I appreciate the support and look forward to the Fessy's arrival. I've never had a PSG that was this new. I learned on an old ZB, quit and the got some Deks, quit, and now a 30 yr old MSA Classic XL that I may or may not keep. Anyhow thanks, Chris Grotewohl |
