Wanted everyone to know that Steel Guitar East purchased Walker Seats from Ray Walker before he passed away. We will continue to keep the name "Walker Seats" as Ray had wanted us to do that and we have Deb Walker's blessing on that also. We will continue to build them exactly the way that Ray built them, same design, same material and same quality. Naturally we also purchased his inventory. We will begin taking orders in Aug and it is our hope that you will continue to support the great Walker Seat. Walked Seat's web page has been combined with ours, Steel Guitar East. When you get a chance please look at our web site.
Thanks and we appreciate your support. |

I bought my Walker seat from Ray about 5 yrs ago and the quality and craftsmanship are second to none! Congrat again and when I'm ready for a new Walker Seat, I'll be in touch for sure....Good luck...Carl

| I have a Walker seat I bought from Ray in St. Louis a few years ago. Very good quality and now that Billy has them I'm sure they will be as good or better although I don't know how they could be better. The only thing better would be if the seat would keep me from putting excess stuff in it. |

Congratulations Billy. There is no way Walker Seats could have gotten anyone better to carry on their business.
Billy Knowles is a great guy to do business with. Having purchased many things from him, I am qualified to say that he provides service that is second to none. And his products speak for themselves. Thanks for all you have done for me.
Butch

I've known Billy seems like most of my life. I've used Ray's seats for a long time. I love the way they were designed. I've worn the one I use on the road out a couple times and he would always fix it back up. Billy & I try and hang out when he comes to town. Hes a great great man and a fellow North Carolinian. I recently got a seat from Billy which I will proudly use on the road and tell every steel player I see about cause he's a stand up guy and his craftsman ship and skill have taken Ray's legacy to another level. God Bless you Billy. I'm proud to know you and call you a friend.  |
