Wanted to say something about Bill . I had posted that I needed to add a pull on my guitar , and just needed the nylon but couldn't locate them. He stepped up and and offered me a couple of his, but wouldn't let pay him. What a kind thing to do. Thankyou Bill. What a great example of ca·ma·ra·de·rie . _________________ mullens RP SD10 ,, hilton pedal, walker goldface w/BW Cabinet. |

Henry Matthews did me a solid one time with a lever for my EMCI , I had at one . There are some really good folks in the steel guitar community. Henry had a spare lever and sent it to me.
I am forever grateful for him helping me out.

Bill set the example for me several years ago. We bought an older Ernie Ball volume pedal from him. When I asked about payment, he said just wait until you get it and send me a check or money order.
So, I try to follow his example on small purchases from particularly established members by shipping items while waiting on the money. Not been burned yet.
You have to trust somebody sometime, and this is one thing I learned from Mr. Ferguson. |

Bill is the real deal, an overall gentleman, a friend to everybody and one hell of a player.

Not to mention the huge amount of time he's put in on the youtube video archives of not just the great players but other players who deserve to be remembered. I owe him a huge debt of gratitude for that.
Thanks Bill. _________________ - keyless Sonny Jenkins laps stay in tune forever!; Carter PSG

I came across Bill just a month or two after I started playing. I bought strings from him and in my inexperience broke a couple of the 3rd strings. Nothing wrong with the strings but plenty wrong with the installer! Bill was kind and gracious helping me figure out what I was doing wrong and even sent a couple of 11.5s
I wish more people did business the way he does. |

He helped me get in with Peavey to get my amps fixed!!
Wouldn't take any money for his time and effort!
A true businessman to be modeled after in any endeavor. |

Bill helped me in Dallas a few years ago. I tried to pay him but he refused. He has always been willing to lend a helping hand.
One thing should be noted that he has been instrumental in helping young players get started. Hats off to a great human!!
