Hi just wanted to share my latest project 008, the "BlueToo" so nicknamed for obvious reasons.
It will be heading for Norway very shortly.

real nice, bent. i'm glad you're putting inlay on the front top and bottom....and on the neck. looks like a steel should look in my opinion.
i like that more than the thin pearly strips others seem to be using now. |

Cosmetically, the best one yet Bent. As nice looking as anything I've seen.

Hi Guys, Thanks so much for your nice comments!
John, sorry i haven't gotten around to using bronze yet (or haven't dared?)
Ken thanks, you are always so appreciative of my efforts!
Chris, right on..I like banding myself although I think that much is a bit over done. But it's not up to me, but the customer.
Thanks Storm, my friend. You are always an inspiration.
Thanks Edward, nice of you to comment again.
Per, that's right. You are in line now. Yours will be kind of special eh?
Billy, you're number one in my books. Best to you and your family!
Thanks Douglas!
Thanks Peter, No I will be shipping it with Air Canada from London Ontario to Oslo Norway. The easiest and quickest.
Thanks so much, Scott!
Thanks Dale!

Man, that guitar just looks awesome! It just seems to sit there and glow like one would imagine the Holy Grail would or some other object of power. And that color..really nice.
Congrats Bent!

One thing for sure. The gap in quality between guitars made by folks like Bent, Martin Weenick, Dave Wheelhouse (and several others), and the present day commercial pedal steel manufacturers has closed dramatically. The biggest improvement has been in the cabinets. The guitars made by the part time guys listed above are now at such a professional level that potential buyers can now buy a completely bespoke one-off instrument that can stand up against the best in the market place.

They just don't get any prettier than that Bent. You shaded that blue just perfect. Martin.

Hey guys thanks so much. Special thanks goes to Martin. When builders of his quality offers a remark that you just did, Martin, then I know you mean it. I am humbled by your kindness.
Just started 009. This will be a somewhat special one-off with, for example, custom lasered brushed aluminum logo and fretboard and real leather pad. It will of course be going to my good friend, Per Berner in Sweden. Per is the man who designed the BenRom logo.
