Lonnie, that is one beautiful instrument, play it in good health and make some beautiful noise with it. I want to hear it ASAP. When I get my new ClinesmithI'm gonna hit you up for some 10 string chatter.

| Sweet axe Lonnie. Any chance of "directly over the top pics"? Who built it? What kind of pups do you have in there? |

That's looking REALLY good.
Where did you find those leg sockets? I've been looking everywhere for someone who sells them. |

| I thought that was a Rukuvina.....he did that scalloped-out top on another steel I think. Sweet looking axe for sure. Definitely interested to hear about the pups. |

Ryan does beautiful work!
Those pickups were probably made by Ryan. He made me a custom pickup last year that sounds great.
