A couple of years ago, I bought a used Fessy that needed a little work. I live about 2 hours away from Jerry's shop and he dropped what he was doing to help me out. Keep in mind this was a used Fessy I'd bought elsewhere. Recently I found a 69 Rusler with a problem on the 6th string changer finger. Jerry was busy getting ready for upcoming steel shows, but found time to help me out and fixed the Rusler this morning. Great service from a generous guy. Thanks again Jerry. Hope to see you at the Connecticut show.

I have been to Jerry's shop several times and he has has a great guitar, is a nice person, sent me his cd and has always been accomodating. When I worked as Robert Randolph's guitar tech, Jerry was always there, 24/7. Thanks

Got me interested in making pickups. - Tonealigner
Educated me on all aspects of a steel guitar.
Made me one of the finest U12s.
Looks like David Crosby.' '
Despite telling me I'm one of the top three people he wouldn't want to be, we trade favors. Lately I'm fixing (blowing up) a Stewart amp for him. Patience - I'll get there Jerry. |

Agreed. Great guy. Great guitar. Jerry built my guitar a few years ago and I love it. Stays in tune. Sounds great. Rarely breaks strings. Love it....
