Tommy's work is impeccable and nothing leaves his shop unless it's perfect. This latest "street rod" is another eye-catcher and I know sounds fantastic.
Happy New Year, my friend! |

Gorgeous steel.
I like the idea of having both the half step and full step B string lowers on different levers. Is tuning that half stop at all an issue? Seems like it could be a pain reaching the adjustment down on the push rod.

The PP design pretty much requires some under-body tuning nuts for some combinations. Tommy set my PP up with similar half-stop mechanisms, it took me a while but I eventually learned to find and adjust them by feel. |

| I'll add my praise of Tommy's work. He added a couple levers and set-up my '69 Rosewood D-10 a couple years ago. It now has 8 & 7. It fits me perfectly and plays perfectly !! Tom's a great guy and craftsman. Hope you're well Tommy !!! |

He’s the best! He helped me buy my first guitar in 1972-a ‘69 Emmons with no knees. He added the first five knees right after. 50 years later he rebuilt that same guitar for me and it’s amazing. My ‘69 is two serial numbers apart from Tiny’s, so both our guitars we most likely on the same bench being birthed and on the same bench 50 years later being rebirthed by Tommy!

Tommy, that’s an absolute masterpiece. Do you know what that weighs, approximately? I could probably lift it today, but tomorrow might be another day. Thanks!

If you round off the case to 19 lbs and guitar to 68 lbs. the guitar is appx. 49 lbs. out of case. |

Tommy, thanks. That’s actually manageable. Less than I thought, considering all the plumbing underneath! Let me put some more thought into it as I watch some football this weekend. Thanks!

| Nice'69 Emmons, I had one exactly like it. I traded it to Gene O'Neal for a new black one in '76. |

Oh my kindness,
Gene O'neal was one of the best SG player's friend!  I helped him: to get to be of the SG player; with the first Black Country Singer: "Charley Pride"! And I was an employee with RCA. Wow. I cry to see; because of that "Tear Nostalgia!" 
Here's a News to See: Mr "Charley Pride" 
"RCA kept Pride's race secret from country radio disc jockeys until the third single, “Just Between You and Me,” climbed into the country Top Ten. Seeing the cover of his gold-selling first album, Country Charley Pride, was the first time many fans discovered that he was Black."
And here is a video with Charley and Gene on Lawrence Welk's Orchestra...and Gene begins time "4:51". And others too!
https://youtu.be/j27uU1oKGfo
https://youtu.be/ohWe9v3KsQQ
https://youtu.be/ShupDBWjURE
And one thing that was terribly sad. Gene had a thought problem; in the Hospital. And the Dr accidentally cut an artery blood; and Gene died in seconds. How sad, every time, when I hear about it.
He was so: an "awesome and incredible" Steel Guitar player ; that I was every with. And may Jesus rest his Soul. AMEN!
