Carter Guitar

Does anyone know where I can get a pull rod that raises string 7 on the C neck of a Carter guitar, (Pedal 8) The rod is 10 1/2" long and looks like about 3/32 rod.

I just received my copy of the "Side by Side" CD this morning and have been listening to it all day. Steve and Larry did an "AWESOME" job on this one. If you don't have it yet, I would get it ordered before they run out. Get the tracks too!

Roger, Randy Beavers has an excellent track of that tune on His CD called A "Few Favorite things" You can probably order that and the track CD from his website. I am pretty sure that is the CD that it is on.

I don't know where he was actually from but he told me he was going to Las Vegas to be with his children when he left the buc...

Gary, I would also like to know about Jay. He set up my first guitar for me. Fender 400. He played that guitar on one of the Buckaroo concerts at the Riverside ballroom in Phoenix Arizona. I think that was his last tour with Buck.

WOW!!! It's hard to believe that some of these comments were posted on the Forum. The Rittenbery is one of the finest guitars on the market today and Gary, no doubt, is one of the best builders but he is also a human being and humans do make mistakes. I know this guitar personally from day one and e...
