The Rodeo 8 is here

Post by Stephen Wells »

My new Lapking Rodeo 8 arrived today and it is flawless, Jason has done it again. My Rodeo 6 was great but, the new bridge and Lollar pickup are even better. As usual Jason was great to work with. I feel really lucky to play an instrument that; in spite of its comparatively small number of players, is available in such high quality at a reasonable price.

I thought I recognized it, used one on a walnut / birdseye maple build and it had a great voice :)

Wow! Gorgeous steel! I just saw Brooks and Dunn last month and I'm pretty sure Gary Morse was playing a Rodeo too, can't be sure though.
Enjoy that new 8!

Thanks everyone. I'm so glad you're so happy Stephen, thanks so much for the kind words, you are terrific to work with.
Yup Robert, you are correct. Gary Morse plays a Rodeo now (with another on order) I was at the Hartford show too. What an absolute terrific guy he is!
Here is a pic.
