Lynn Stafford is a top man. He and Billy Knowles do some of the best Emmons overhauls I've ever seen.

I asked Lynn for advice when I bought my steel and again several times thereafter,
"Yes" his advice was spot on and I haven't looked back.
Thanks "Lynn"

I want to express my sincere thanks to Larry and the other folks that have posted. I consider all of you, along with many others within our community to be my friends.
I feel very blessed to have been able to help or be of service to many steel players, not only in our great country but around the world. As an example, I'm currently helping a player in The Netherlands (who doesn't speak English) get parts he needs for his Zumsteel from my friend, Bruce Zumsteg.
I feel I also need to give a big thanks to b0b (Bob Lee) who runs this great Forum. If the Steel Guitar Forum didn't exist, I wouldn't be doing much of what I do. I believe we all owe him a debt of gratitude.

I agree totally with all of the positive comments regarding Lynn. While I've never met him in person, I have dealt with him regarding steel guitars and had some great, long conversations with him. Lynn's a quality individual and a super nice guy.
Lynn, you're a "dang good horse" and I hold you in high regards..!! You're correct in your comments about b0b as well.
Sincerely,
Chris "Tiny" Olson |

| And another two thumbs up for my friend Lynn. Lynn is a master craftsman, push-pull guru, and meticulous about making sure that everything that comes out of his shop is perfect. Years ago I had a minor maintenance issue with a push-pull and posted for advice on the Forum. Several hours later I had a phone call from Lynn offering his help and he talked me through it. Talk about amazing service! I am the proud owner of 2 of Lynn's push-pull projects. You can't go wrong with Mr. Stafford. |

Lynn has helped me on occasion, too. He clearly has a thoughtful and generous nature.
If he lived a bit nearer to FL my LeGrande would already have had his expert attention; the list of 'I really should get this seen to' items grows ever longer.
Thanks for everything you do for us, Lynn.
