I emailed Bill for prices on a couple George L's cables. I promptly received prices including discounts. In 2 days the cables were in my hands. This is the only transaction I've ever conducted here on the forum where the product was shipped before the money was received. The purchase was fast, easy, and honest. Kudos to Bill.

When you look up "gentleman" in your dictionary or internet source you will most likely find a picture of Bill. He is all that and more.

Well I see a bigger hat size on the horizon. Joking aside Bill is always there if you need him. Honored to call him a friend.

I've known Bill for over 40 years. He is all you say and more. Just to list his skills and accomplishments would take a book. To top it all off
he is the finest person you could ever know.

I contacted Bill a couple years ago and told him my 11yr old son was playing steel and I wanted to get him some new cables like his teacher had for his birthday. Bill sent them to my son as a birthday present and wouldn't take any money. Awesome!

I recently ordered some George L's cables and Goodrich pots from Bill. Nothing but the best service all the way. I highly recommend Bill for all your steel guitar accessory needs. :D

YEP!! Bill is just that kind of fella. It would probably take ya ten years to write a book on everything Bill does and
has done for the steel guitar and the people involved! :P 8) Not sure if B0b has the bandwidth to list all those things
Bill has brought to the steel world, not to mention he can play one pretty good also. They don't call him "steelpicker"
for nothin'
:lol:

He keeps some pretty good company as well!! :wink:

Best to ya' Bill, keep on keepin'on

I concur with everyone here! I asked Bill a few days ago to give me some feedback on the new Peavey 115 and like clockwork, he responded very quickly!!

Same goes for me Mark. Received the Goodrich Pedal Bracket with out money being sent. Bill is one of the good old boys, old school. Believes in his fellow man. I try to do that but not as good as I should. J.R. Rose
