What a class guy! Lynn Stafford has been a long time good customer of D2F Covers and I needed some work done on the C6th neck on my '87 Emmons Push Pull. With one glance Lynn spotted several things that needed to be adjusted or changed on my E9th neck as well. The total operation took about 10 hours and wow! what a difference. I could not be more pleased with the work he did and the price he charged was very reasonable. The guitar now plays and sounds like a good push pull should.
If you don't already know Lynn, I hope you get an opportunity to meet him and get to know him. A nicer guy you will not find and he is valuable asset to the steel guitar community. It has been a priviledge for me to get to know him and have him perform some of his magic on my Emmons. |

I had the pleasure of meeting Lynn and his wife Kathy(spelling?) in Portland,OR last summer and they were a joy. I enjoyed our conversation but had no idea he was such a push-pull expert. Way to go Lynn!!!

| Lynn is an Emmons guru. I've seen and tried out a few of his guitars. They look, play and sound great. He's also given me some guidance and encouragement with an upcoming rebuild. Definitely a good and generous guy. |

Tom,
Gosh, thanks so much for the very kind words. It's been a pleasure getting to know you! I'm very happy that I was able to get your Emmons straightened out for you and that you're enjoying it again.
Buck,
Kathy and I really enjoyed meeting you while here in Portland touring with Lyle Lovette. We also enjoyed seeing you play again at the ISGC in St Louis (both in the Jazz Room and the Main Stage). It was nice to visit with you and your wife, for a short while that Sunday morning.
Tony,
Thanks, my friend! As you know, if it were not for you, I probably would not be a pedal steel player, or even be here typing this reply...
