Due to some recent events , I will be limiting service for guitars that I did not sell originally. Since the beginning , I have offered advice and many times spent hours on the phone with a person that bought a guitar from another source. Sometimes even giving parts away , or even sending parts at my expense .
Due to some people that have been rude to myself or whoever is here to answer the phone , and demanding that I look at pictures , that "bung up" my email , this has ended .
The latest guy from Pa, has called about 10 times with a 27 yr old guitar , wanting to know when I changed my design, etc . Then he has been changing pickups and letting me know his "expertise" on guitars. Then the email I sent telling him I would be gone for a few days , to do business in Canada , got a reply stating that he had called the house , was told I was in the shop , Canada was a good place to hide out , and the steel should have been done "right" in the beginning .
Well, I've had it with "experts" . The lady here , has been in the hospital off and on for a few months , and we have no need of foolishness . When I'm away on business , I do have a cell phone.
In the last few days , I've talked with other builders and repair people , and they seem to think this is where they have to be , as well |

Jerry has been building pedal steel guitars for years and helps other builders. I bought a new double neck in 2002, he had helped me with changes and has always been great to deal with and I consider him a friend.
He gives of himself and talents, can't believe people being rude to this man.
Bless you Jerry and thanks for all you have done for me.

| JF builds nice guitars. Still go by something he told me years ago. You have to " Personalize " your guitar to fit the player. So true. |
