A big public THANK YOU to a great guy and a super talented steel builder Lamar Colvin!
Lamar: I love the new guitar! I hope you don't mind the addition of the little tray. It gives me a scratch free place to keep my bar, picks and tuning wrench and makes good use of the un-used control cavity.

Fantastically beautiful steel Ross. I don't know if I've ever seen a more pretty piece of wood. Mr. Colvin builds a great looking steel and after listening to Carlos Polidura play his Lamar on YouTube I know that they sound great.
I hope you really enjoy it.

| Hey Ross, Nice looking Steel, how do you like that new changer design? String breakage should be non-existent. Is that an "all pull" design? |

You can bet I'm very much enjoying playing it Lamar! In fact, I'm enjoying it so much, I'm practicing more than ever...the guys in my band are happy about that too!
Brad; Yes it is an all pull. The new changer works perfectly. |

Beautiful guitar and the craftsmanship matches the beauty!
The pearl inlayed fretboard has become Lamar's "hallmark".
Never had a chance to experience the new changer design, but I understand it is "straight-on"  |
