Hi Jerry,
If this is the same guitar I played at the Branson get-together last year I'm surprised you still have it. Sweet sound and sooo smooth to play. The amp. still works just great.

Such a sad and great loss to the music world. God's strength to his family. Don was not only a great picker, but also rebuilt several older steels for me so I really got to enjoy his frank knowledge and helpful suggestions.

Jim,
Sorry to see your hassle.

FYI. Luckily I set up separate a checking account and
a separate credit card account for Paypal. Canceling them when fraud ocurred was my purpose and it worked. It might be worth considering in this type situation too.
