Thank you Burnell. It looks better and is built better than I thought it would be. Looks new. I just set it up, haven't plugged it in yet, probably tomorrow. Everything seems close to in tune. The case looks great, the guitar looks great. I like the natural finish.
Thanx again.

Someone mentioned they are built like a tank, they were not kidding.

Fantastic. Congrats. That Pakka Wood is ultra dense & stable (and heavy). And judging by how good Dekleys sound, it is a great solid-body tone material.

I got my books. I ordered the Scott Dewitt book from abe books. I was going to order it through the site. I don't mind paying the extra money but when I saw almost 13.00 for shipping I didn't order it. I know how much it cost to ship books and it isn't 12-13 dollars. It is the principal of the issue. Who determines the shipping costs?

Hey Jerry.
Glad you got it! I, too, am a Dekley fan. The price was right, but I already have 2 Dekleys. Yours is a pro model. They are good guitars and are relatively easy to work on or add to. Full speed ahead.

Nice looking guitar. I've got all three of those instructional books and there is great information in each. Best of luck on your steel playing journey. It can be quite a ride but always fun.

One of these days I will have to bring it over and let you play it and tell me if everything is up to snuff.

I play a lot of guitar without plugging in, probably 90 percent of the time.
