| Thank you TB, There is now a better front view of the guitar on the site "www.duanemarrs.com" under Show Pro. It is with AJ Nelson "master finisher" Duane Marrs and myself behind Lloyd on his new guitar. We call the finish blueburst to natural. Steve Hinson's is a little darker in the middle, but the same color scheme and blue is an aqua shade. That aside, if it didn't sound right, Lloyd wouldn't play it regardless. Sincerely, Jeff Surratt |

| I can't wait getting my Sho-Pro. Jeff, Lloyd told me what a great guitar it is so that is reason enough to order one from you. |

I can't say enough about Duane Jeff AJ et al.
I have had my Marrs Retrofit for more about a year and a half, gigged hard with it every weekend, and I never thought I'd like anything better than my old ProIII. Yeah well I was wrong.
I might not look or otherwise act thataway, but I might be the pickiest person on the planet when it comes to my guitars.
No "Hysteresis", that's for sure!
As I have time I'll post some pix and observations, but I don't think there's a better bunch of craftsmen anywhere.
Bless Their Hearts.
Lloyd's too.
Sincerely.
EJL

Steve, Jeff just added a few of the shot's to our site. They are under the ones of Lloyd. Better view of keyhead etc...
In all of my years building, this is the most accurate playing and tuning guitar I've had come off of a bench.
The high's above the 12th fret are very brilliant too. We have enjoyed playing it this afternoon. |

'awesome' is pointing in the right direction but 'beyond words' pretty much says it...
Question: what exactly is the 'stomp box' that Lloyd has hooked up? Thanks |

What a cool steel gentlemen. I am familiar with Duane and Jeff's work and know
these will be some of the best in the world.
Sho Bud pretty with modern day mechanics.What else could anyone want. |

Steve, I have heard your playing on "Just To Be Your Man" and ain't no way you can deny that terrific playing. I wish I could get the intro and turn aroun (ending) down lick for lick. Maybe if I play for another 62 years, I might learn it.
