| Wow!! That's one of the most attractive guitars I've ever seen! I know how you feel, I really like the Rittenberry guitars I have. They are really fine steel guitars. |

What is with this Del Walters and this new wood Rittenberry?? What a great color combination!!
Del, you got to be proud of this one; we know that it plays good.
Congradulations on your new play toy, really looks nice.
I am going to send my picture again; these wood guitars seem to stand out.
Oh yea,! I forgot to say something nice about Gary, but I have to figure out what I am going to say nice.
Ok, he's the best builder around and he know's what he's doing.
"How's that Gary??"

Hi Del,
As I recall yours is the first Extended E9 and he built a 12 string Uni last year. They are things of wonder aren't they? I sure love mine- D-10 & 10 String C6 Universal (Islander Model). I can't play 'em enough!

| Way to go, Del! The more you play it, the more you'll love it. I've had mine for a little over three years now, and I like it more every time I play it. |

Merry Christmas Roger. I love how the Rittenberry
plays, and sounds.
I asked Gary, if he could send the pickup off to have it tapped, which he did. It does have a signature Rittenberry sound, at 18, and the tap lowers it to 14, give more of a Sho Bud type sound.
While I have always loved my Mullen's guitars, I wanted some variety if I was to have more than one guitar. I feel Gary accomplished what I was looking for. It plays as well, if not better than my G2, IMHO
Thanks Doc
