Thank you so much for sharing Eric. This is a wonderful feature on Todd and well-deserved. He is a brilliant world-class artist indeed. And I love the heartfelt testimonials from local tri-state steel players like Mike Neer and Johnny Lam who I love and are equally inspiring to me. This is such a gr...

Bert's the best! He sent tabs and tracks to me over the holidays. Definitely the best christmas gift this year.

So good! I enjoyed that as well. Your fret hand muting is really good. I struggle. I learned palm muting for the most part but limits me at doing finger picking at greater speed. Someone commented here about a tone knob workout at the 50 second mark. Is it really the tone knob that you’re manipula...

Thank you so much Andy for the feedback! Which amp do you recommend or have in mind? Appreciate it!

Hi Jeffery, that's a really nice guitar but I'm not accepting trades on this one. Asking $1300. Thank you so much.

Hi Tom, I mentioned in the post that shipping is included in the price of $1300. I pay for shipping basically.

Hi Mark, not sure why you created a separate thread here regarding the case but in the original topic of the sale I did post pictures of the original tweed case. It's in the third link with all the sample photos. I didn't want to overwhelm the post with 20 photos so I gathered all the pictures in a ...

Thank you Chris. This guitar is a hard one to part with. Beautiful, so much character and she sings!!!

Thank you Dave. I'll post a reply to Mark Helms and send over the link for the case. Appreciate it!
