Robert I have one that was rebuilt by Rittenberry and I can tell you my next steel guitar will definately be a Rittenberry. Mine is fantastic. Bobbe told you right. But if you get yours and don't like it then sell it to me (as a used steel of course).

Gary Rittenberry is the most conscience builders there is. Not a screw goes in a steel unless its perfect. Gary is not new to the steel and has worked the best. You won't go wrong with a Rittenberry.
Although I play a Derby (which I Love)my next steel will be a Rittenberry.

Robert,
All I can tell you is that I have a Rittenberry with a second in the works at this time. I did just as Gary advised, I play my Rittenberry through a Fender Steel King.

.......Click Here....... And Here.......

Robert.....your choice to go for a Rittenberry is probably the best choice you made in a long time.You will have a steel guitar that will out play almost every brand.

Gary is a very good friend of mine.He builds these steel guitars to last and takes pride in his work.A man that will bend over backwards.

Playability is 110%,
Lightweight,
Sturdy,
Easy adjustable,
Quick change bell-cranks,
etc,etc,etc,

But most of all.....the sound is the best out there.You will not be disappointed...and thats a promise.

Best sounding guitar for any amount of money. Even the Rittenberry built Nashville LTDs and LaGarret Guitars where some of the best kept secerts in the steel guitar world.

The closest thing to an Emmons Push/Pull that I have played. You wont be dissapointed, and Gary and Tina Rittenberry are some of the nicest people I have met. Gary takes great pride in his work. I may be having one in the future! Smile

Thanks for the info. You guys have made me feel better about buying the steel unseen. I,m sure that I will enjoy it that is if I ever git it! Seems the standard answer when I inquire about delivery is "next week" Happy steeling... Very Happy

Robert,

As I roamed around the Dallas show listening to various guitars being played I heard one that really caught my attention.

Jody Cameron was playing a Rittenberry and it was one of the best sounding guitars I heard that day.

I don't think you've gone wrong.

I own one now and have ordered another one. It is the best playing steel I have every owned. Takes a while to get one though. Have to be patient.

Robert, I've known Gary for years and he puts his Heart and Soul into these guitars. They are all very consistent in TONE and Feel and play like a dream.
As for Pros and Cons?? With this guitar its all Pros and no Cons. Gary will take care of you and make sure you are Happy.

I got to hear Jody Cameron play his Rittenberry yesterday in Katy Texas. The tone was superb and Jody says that he loves it. A great endorsement if you ask me.

Are the Rittenberry guitars an all pull system ? I've never had the chance to check out one.
