Mr. Boards: With all due respect......because I fully realize that besides being wonderful feller, and a master steel guitar designer and builder.......

you've obviously invented some fantabulous steel guitar strings!!!! What do you use to polish them up to such a high luster that for all intents and purposes, teh VANISH.

How'd you do dat?

I like the way the tuners line up. On most guitars you see, they're all cattywompus turned every which way. ;-)

Seriously, that's a really nice guitar, George. I'm not in the market for a T-8, but if I were this would be at the top of my list.

Love the 4th sister, George. And much to my chagrin, it looks like I will soon be buying a D8. But not a T8 at this time, even at that price.

George I just love your guitars. I have your 12 disc instruction set which has given me hours of pleasure and many techniques that as a "student" of lap steel I consider priceless.
The guitar you used in your dvds is beautiful, even the fret board has such an elegant sheen you can at times actually see a reflection of the bar on the neck.

I'm in no way a seasoned player but I know what I like.
Guys like you Greg Cutshaw,Roy Thompson and many others who impart their knowledge to us rookies are irreplaceable.
My respect and admiration for all of you is unexpressable.
