Here is My tribute To Jimmy Crawford and the JCH Steel Guitar Co. D10 with 8 pedals 7 Knee levers BL705 pickups. The body is made of Birds eye maple with pearl inlay and Ebony inlay on both side of the pearl. The paint House of kolor Cobalt Blue. However my pictures don't show color right I guest the blue is a little darker and has a little purple tint to it. The tone is outstanding and it plays real smooth. Hope you like it. Paul Vendemmia

Paul,

Congratulations to you for an outstanding job! Great color combination, too. I love cobalt blue and the figuring on the maple is gorgeous.

Well, I like nice wood, and that maple is stunning, so needless to say, I like her! Nice contrast between the blue and the very blond maple.

Wonders do happen as Paul sustained a lucid moment to allow someone, that be me, to play his latest project. But mind you now, there was an intense screening process prior to said test drive. If you think airport security is a necessary inconvenience, you ain't experienced nuffN until Paul gives the OK to play said geetar. We're talkn "no jacket, rolled up sleeves, belt buckle and any other potential scratch makers situated at a safe distance." All for good reason as the above posted PICS really don't display how all the colors compliment each other. Its mesmerizing to say the least, the finish, the chrome, 'da blue, 'da everything else that makes this geetar shine. Regarding playability and tone, well, lip service is just that. Maybe he'll post a clip later on, maybe he'll sell this cobalt looker. Maybe he'll relocate this beauty by his bed side, a new place to situate an alarm clock. dunno....Regardless, this steel is a winner....
