WOW! That's a magnificent Dekley. Are the chromed knee levers from the factory?
Now I am tempted to rob from Peter to pay Paul  [This message was edited by Ray Minich on 06 May 2005 at 06:26 AM.] |

| Ray, the levers did not come from the factory chromed. The original owner had them chromed. |

I'm tempted to rob Peter, Paul and Mary to pay Tommy. Absolutely Stunning!
I bought a Dekley D-10 few months back and rebuilt it and I would be embarrassed to put it next to that one. |

Tommy,
What are those necks made out of, Pakkawood or metal? It's a stunning looking steel! Great job! |

What a deal. That guitar is breathtaking. Like my lefty model, but flawless.
Someone will get a great deal. If I were only right handed it would be gone.

I've been telling people about Tommy's work since 1988 when he rebuilt my old Emmons. I dropped off a beat up D-10 and when I went to pick it up I didn't recognize it! Every metal part, including the entire undercarriage was highly polished. New flocking, worn parts replaced, heavy duty springs, case-hardened screws. The guitar looked much better than it did when I bought it new. It sparkled like a diamond. Tommy had completely disassembled the guitar, every part, including the changer parts, cleaned and polished every metal part to a mirror finish. I could see my reflection in the undercarriage! I can't imagine how many hours of hand labor he puts into his restorations.
