Jerry,
here you go.



I am having an absolute ball with this copedant. It's a little bit different than Zane Becks, but I love it.

Dan

Jerry,
I wish the guitar had been Julian's guitar. This 14 string is Brand New, actually 2 weeks old.......

We are building another one as I write this.

Thanks Damien I am really enjoying it very much. Got a ways to go. I switched to Julian's copedant so it will take a while,

Tommy,
It really isn't that bad believe it or not. I'm quickly getting back up to speed. For the e9ers most all of it is there in the first 7 strings. I've been able to pickup many of the licks I used to know from when I played E9. +plus+ E6 is right there below E9 hit pedal 2 and you have the 4 chord.
I'm loving it. Transcribing Julian's stuff is fun but very time consuming. By transcribing his stuff I'm starting to see the little things he did that made him Julian, pretty awesome,

Dan
