Just finished this Franklin D-10. Thought I'd share some pics. Graphics by Bill's sign.

Nice! I recognize that guitar and I’ve played it a couple of times on gigs with Bill. It’s a smooth playing machine. Nice work Tommy!

I Just Picked up my Guitar from Tommy Cass, what an incredible job of refinishing! It looks and plays like brand new! If you need your guitar refinished, or just finely tuned, he is the man!!

Good grief, that's beautiful work, Tommy!
I may have to ship you my Franklin for a total overhaul. Might as well during the quarantine when there are no gigs anyway...

Is there anyone in the world who has the magic touch like Tommy Cass? I would be afraid to leave fingerprints on it. It`s prettier than a girl in a bikini.

Tommy Cass; a great PSG Guru and a real gentleman. I have purchased a few items from Tommy and they were all first class.

I’ve lost track of how many pedal steels Tommy has rebuilt for me over the years... at least 8 or 10. The first one was in 1987! His work is always top-notch and meticulous. Cool

Absolutely beautiful job Tommy. That guitar is to die for! I’ve had Tommy completely restore three different guitars for me and each one of them came back twice the guitar they were before. Simply one of the best people around working on steels. Miss you Tom! Hope to be up there to hang soon.

I rode out to Tommy's a few times with Bill. I saw all stages. Bill did the paint work under the guitar if anyone is interested. I went with Bill to pick it up. It's absolutely beautiful, a work of art. And it sounds as good as it looks! Another great job, Tom!

Anyone know why Franklin beveled the comb on the bell cranks?
