Jerry tells me that he would like to sell these items:
3 pedals and most of the mechanism to operate them. They consist of 1 lower and 2 raises
2 Bigsby pickup covers - aluminum castings. These parts come off of a Bigsby D8

He also has a Wright custom 8 string pickup

Chris, you're welcome. You're right, Jerry is really a one-of-a-kind. I feel so rewarded to have made his acquaintance.

Hello Bent
wishing a very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Bent when you see Jerry ask him if he remembers
the green goose (guitar ) I bought from him about
dont remember the year but around 1970 or 1975
boy does the years go fast but I think he will
remember Jerry is a very great guy and friend.
Happy holidays Charlie

[Bent Romnes]

Hi Charlie,
..and Merry Christmas to your house as well! I will be sure to ask him about your green goose.

I am sure Jerry would appreciate very much to get a call from you.

I had a long chat with Jerry today concerning an emblem or decal for my Blanton.He is a fun guy to talk with and he was really interested in my guitar and what was happening with it.
Interesting thing he told me about the serial number on my guitar which is 210003.The first 3 numbers say it's a D 10, and the last number says it was the 3rd one he started using serial numbers..He looked in his records to see who it was built for but he had failed to record the first few.
I think he said 07 was built for Jimmy Day.
If anyone knows who might have been the original owner I'd really like to know..
