My new Rittenberry

Post by Dennis Ellerbee »

Here is a picture of my new Rittenberry. It is by far the best playing steel guitar I have ever owned in my thirty plus years of playing. Thanks Gary for your work. It sounds great!

Rittenberry Steels

Great looking guitar Dennis. Love the inlay Gary did on the front. I also have a single on order from Gary and he told me look out for your guitar when it was posted to see the inlay. Gary builds one of the finest made. Between the new Justice I just got and my new Ritt, I think I'll have two of the best guitars made today by two really good guys. All the best, Enjoy. Vincent :D :D

Like everyone else says - you can't get a better guitar! The Reverend Rittenberry makes one heavenly machine. I sure love mine!

Thanks guys. I love this steel. It is the second one I own. I'll keep the older one in the studio, and the new one on the road. It sounds sooooo good. Thanks to Gary.

Dennis,

I'm in Jackson Ga. where/when can I hear you and that wonderful Rittenberry?
The only thing better than doing what you love is having someone that loves you enough to let you do it.
