Sharp looking.

I really should have listened to my folks instead of becoming a music teacher.

Anyone want to by a slightly abused kidney?

An unborn first child?

Just checking.

Is P9 right? Does it really raise (or lower) the G to D?

Pedal 9 lowers string 5.. G to F and raises string 12..
C to D

I wish I would have bought this guitar from Terry when he sold it. It was an amazing sounding guitar. I probably played this guitar as much as he did, and I loved it. I'd like to hear it with the 710's in it. There's some really nice changes on it and I remember it didn't break strings either.

Listen, Tommy. I know that you're always working on guitars and you probably need the room in your shop for other things, so if you just need someone to hold onto this for ya until the right buyer comes along, you know you can always store it right here in my music room. It wouldn't be lonely, y'know, and I'd take real good care of it, I really would...

Jim, If you promise to leave all those licks on it, when you play it, I might consider leaving it with you.

John D., You've got enough with Blondie & Red. You don't need any more Blonds.

Hey Tommy,
Some real nice looking steels coming out of that basement shop of yours. "Black Beauty", the "chopped, channeled, chromed, and hot-rodded" Emmons P/P D-10 masterpiece you rebuilt is alive and well in NH. :D

Hi, Tommy,
How are the changes on pedal 4 on the C6 neck used? Great looking, playing, and sounding steel & chalk full of changes! I've owned several Williams guitars and luckily still have one. Thanks, stevet

Hey Tommy,

Let me buy you a cup of coffee (or 6) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I think that should be string 10 instead of 12.
Richard, It is an error on my part.
Pedal 9 lowers string 5.. G to F and raises string 12..
C to D
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Richard,
I will take the coffee. Sure glad you don't need it.
I've worked on 3 U-12 p/ps and 1 D-12 p/p over the last 2 months and I guess my mind is still in that mode???
