Waaaaay cool !!!
Now your steel guitar is gonna look better than your Harley.
And with a guitar that looks that good, you can tune it any way you want to.

Well, since I was old enough to pace my crib, I haven't had an ounce of patience in my whole body.
To get it back here, I'd tune the thirds TWENTY cents flat.
This period has not been as bad as I thought as I've been able to see some of the fine pieces Duane Jeff and AJ have turned out.
Here's a glimpse inside my impatient mind:
It looks like it'll be done a ways before my 13 Feb trip. I'm thinking maybe I can have it express freighted out here, play it for a gig on the 11-12Feb, fly back on my flight with it, and pretend like I'm just picking it up, and fly back with it to play the 18-19.
Just kidding, but I'm sure ready for it. And a trip to SGN, visiting with friends that have moved there over the years, and the Station Inn on Monday nite.
The ProIII can get a retread now at my own leisure.

| Eric, your gonna freak when you get this guitar. Its like getting a dragster out of custom auto shop. This guitar is gonna talk to you when you play it. These Marrs Sho-Buds have mega tone. If I wasn't playing ZB's I'd still be playing one of these. I am firmly convinced that custom shop steels are the way to go. It doesn't get any better than the Marrs Custom Shop.

Hey Kevin, what about a ZB redone with Marrs mechanics? (don't think I haven't thought about it).

Very nice, Eric! I'm proud for you. My Sho~Bud is in great shape, but I'd still love to be able to send it to Duane & Company to get the new mechanics and change it to a natural blonde...oh well, maybe one day!
I wish you much success and happiness with your "new" Bud!

Russ. Thanks for the appraisal.
Time for the ProIII to get a rest and facelift.
I think I'll flatten my thirds till I get it out of Tennessee..
