Hey guys & gals. I started out on a single E9 Derby 25 years ago and was taught by Jeff Newman prior to his unfortunate death. I progressed pretty good, but in 2007 I had major back surgery, specifically a lower lumbar fusion which left my feet and lower legs without feeling. After recovery, I r...

Outfit is SOLD. Bob please close the ad. Donation on the way!

I am listing my Derby SD10 E9 3+4 for sale. Included is the original Nashville 1000 that I purchased with it, along with my GFI seat and Goodrich L10K volume pedal.

Thanks. He really tore up that steel. I was sitting too far away to see what he was playing, but man it sounded good!

Craziest thing happened. At the last minute wife and I got an opportunity to go see Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell last weekend at The Opera House in Lexington, KY.
