| I don't think I would want it myself, the changer and the neck are all tied together. It appears to be anyway as far as I can tell from the pictures. [This message was edited by Colby Tipton on 08 May 2006 at 05:56 AM.] |

Never heard of this guitar name. Colby, what is the disadvantage of the neck and changer body being together? Just want to know your thoughts.

| Check with Bobbye Seymore, he has sold a couple of these. I thinks these are pretty good steels. |

The neck fits over the changer like a Fessenden does. Guitar was built by Mr. Rittenberry of Rittenberry Guitars and One of his partners.

It might have tuning issues as a result, but then again it may have excellent tone also as a result. |

Finally, a guitar that is really better than it looks! Seriously.
Yes, Gary did build this guitar, yes I have sold about eight of them and they are seriously fine guitars.
Not beautiful, but I promise, it should be a guddern! It started out good,

Daniel,
It looked tied together in the picture, maybe I can blow it up somehow so I can see it better.
If Bobbe said it is a guddern, it must be. I guess I can be wrong sometimes. Fred, I think if the changer was tied to the neck it would make it difficult to work on and the changer needs to be tied to the body for the sound/tone. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong about the sound/tone part. |

The changer is not tied to the neck on this guitar. The changer sticks up through the neck, exectly like a "wraparound" Emmons original.

Thanks Bobbe, Daniel and Gary. I have been lined out on the construction on this instrument and I admit I was way wrong on what I thought I was seeing in the pictures.
Thanks Again
