Thank you Burnell. It looks better and is built better than I thought it would be. Looks new. I just set it up, haven't plugged it in yet, probably tomorrow. Everything seems close to in tune. The case looks great, the guitar looks great. I like the natural finish.
Thanx again. |

| Fantastic. Congrats. That Pakka Wood is ultra dense & stable (and heavy). And judging by how good Dekleys sound, it is a great solid-body tone material. |

I got my books. I ordered the Scott Dewitt book from abe books. I was going to order it through the site. I don't mind paying the extra money but when I saw almost 13.00 for shipping I didn't order it. I know how much it cost to ship books and it isn't 12-13 dollars. It is the principal of the issue. Who determines the shipping costs?

Hey Jerry.
Glad you got it! I, too, am a Dekley fan. The price was right, but I already have 2 Dekleys. Yours is a pro model. They are good guitars and are relatively easy to work on or add to. Full speed ahead.

| Nice looking guitar. I've got all three of those instructional books and there is great information in each. Best of luck on your steel playing journey. It can be quite a ride but always fun. |

One of these days I will have to bring it over and let you play it and tell me if everything is up to snuff. |

| I play a lot of guitar without plugging in, probably 90 percent of the time. |
