I just received my brand new Double 10 Fessenden and boy do I love it. Had to tweak some adjustments on the knees and foot pedals. Now it feels and sounds so good, I am very pleased. Its gorgeous looking, sounding, and smooth as silk.
....................  I am one happy camper. |

| Hey Ron....I don't know if Jerry told you, he's building me a lacquer D-10 with 9 & 8. Mark Giles is doing the cabinet with custom inlay and color. This is the second Fessy for me. I'll have to stop by and check out your new Fessy. [This message was edited by Mike Castleberry on 25 February 2005 at 12:33 PM.] |

Hey Ron,Really glad to hear the good things about your new Fessy, seeing as how I have a Single 10, 3&5 being built on a 1 1/2 frame.
Congrats.

| Ron,- You'll really enjoy your Fessy,as I do mine.Their really easy to work on too.Mine was originally a SD10 3/4.I added a LKV no problem!,now I plan on adding 2 more floor pedals.Anytime I have a question Jerry is more than happy to help.These are definately one of the best steels on the market today.Make sure you send a pic of you and your new guitar to Drew Howard,so he can add you to the list of Fessy players.----Good Luck,Jim |

Let me add my congrats also. What a wonderful guitar! I have a S-12 that I got from Bobbe Seymour...actually he let me steal it from him...it was setup as a Extended E9th. I changed it over to a U-12 in an afternoon...very easy to work on...kind of reminded of the old MSAs, but easier.
After I twisted his arm for a demonstration of it's capabilities, Bobbe said he might just switch over to a Fessy S-12 'cause it sounded so awesome....and boy did he make that puppy sing. You should have heard him do his thumb pickin' on it...WOW!!!
Simply, a GREAT tone and very smooth action. What more could you need! These Fessy's are for sure the sleeping giant of steel guitars.

| Ron, your new Fessenden is beautiful! Eddie Gossien, who plays steel for country artist Darryl Worley is now playing his red Fessenden D-10 on the road with Darryl.

| Ron, This is a great looking guitar. Pedal steels just look awesome in black. I hope to see you at the TSGA Jamboree later this week. |

Tone is the thing with Fessenden, we just recieved a new black D-10 8-5 that sounds so great it's hard to believe. Quality is great as well. Such a great guitar and ready to deliver at a great price.

Ron,
I couldn't be happier for you. Jerry and I talked just before he was putting the finishing touches on your guitar.
If I get to the Phoenix show next year, I'll definately stop in Q town and listen to you play it,
Your Friend,

Hi Terry,
Thanx so much for your support and guidance. I have learned so much in the past 6 months since I started working with you I am a much better player. I absolutley love my new Fessy.
The best thing of all is I have 2 steels now. This way i can practice more because I don't have to set up and break down as much. One of them is always up and ready.

| Congrats, and I know how you feel. Jerry's guitars just seem to connect to my playing so well, and what a great guy to deal with. Jerry and I are in the final planning stages for my third one . [This message was edited by John Macy on 02 March 2005 at 12:51 PM.] |
