Rittenberry SD10 (Close)

Post by Carl Kilmer »

This Beautiful 2006 Rittenberry SD10 3X5 has never been giged.
It is a Dark Blue, and pedal action is easy and so smooth.

Hey Larry, Thanks for the nice words.
Heck, I don't even have a barn, just an old farm house.
Did you get your new steel yet. I want to see that one.
Jean says I won't happy without Emmons,
and I have to agree. Back in my playing days,
that's all I used, and I guess that's the one
thing that is still in my deminished brain.
Look forward to seeing you and Jean next weekend.

I had the opportunity to play this instrument and it really comes out and honks at you. It competes favorably with the best I have played. Sounded very sweet to my ear. Carl has a winner here for some lucky person.

Better grab this one!!!‘

Many thanks Gary. You sure did some beautiful pickin' on it.
If we lived a little closer, we could get together more often.
You could show me a lot, to improve my relearning defaults.
See you and Denise Friday, buddy.

Bump for a Rittenberry. A beautiful guitar owned by a relative of actor Val Kilmer. Well, this may not be true, but it is a beautiful blue Rittenberry!

You have it right on both accounts buddy.
It sure is a beautiful Rittenberry, and Val
and I are distant cousins.

Hi Bill, The difference is, he's still young and good looking,
and I'm an old over the hill fellow, and look like the old man I am.
Remember, I'll hit 70 on the 14th. only 2 weeks more weeks to go.
I was going to give you a call, but figured it was to late.
I'll see you Friday buddy.

Good morning Dennis. Thank you very much.
Are you going to make the trip to St. Louis .
If you do, don't forget, I'll be in the Derby Room.
Hope to see you there my friend.

Hey Carl... I should by this just because I know you deal honest and with the best gear. If you say it is perfect; then that is what it is.

Also, I have known Carl and Jean for at least 25 years via Ham Radio and other escapades in the Bangor area.

Carl... do you remember all the Color Photography Dark Room gear you sold me... way back then ? Jean might.

Carl got me started on the Steel 25 + years ago. He had two at that time... and I ran out and got one Pronto. Best Wishes Carl and Jean.

I wish I had the Dollars for this Jewel !

Hey Bob, Thanks for the nice words. We're just packing
to head out for St. Louis in the morning.
Sure would love to get together with you again,
but I think you said you couldn't make it this time.
Anyway, We hope you have a very enjoyable
holiday weekend. :) :) :)

Your friends,
"Lucky" and Jean

Many thanks Bill. Enjoyed talking with you too.
Hope you enjoyed everything as much as I did.
I was totally worn out when I got home, after
doing about 28 hours of videos in the Derby Room,
and spending hours with Ron and Rebecca Lashley.
It was good to see all my friends again, and meet
many more. That's what really makes it worth while.

Thank you Larry. It was great to see you and Jean again.
I hope your enjoying your new one. I got to try mine out
for a few minutes last night, but it's a lot harder than
the Ritt, but I need that to get strength in my legs again.
I went to the eye hospital in Indianapolis today, and
it don't look good. I'll call you later and give you the results.

Ditto what Larry said...

Surprised this one is not gone yet !

I would have it but I have a daughter in Boston Med School... year 6. Otherwise, the Ritt would be in GA already.

Cheers and Wishing you and Jean the Best !
Take care of the eye my Friend !!!
