Encore

I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on it. I promised my wife when I receive it I'll sell my S-...

Hi Folks, Just wanted to stick my head in the door to say "Howdy". I've been visiting the Forum for the past couple of years and really enjoying all the info. After playing steel in an Opry show here in North Texas for the past 20 years, I finally earned enough money for the $5.00 Membersh...
