Super! Drew, you must be one happy camper.
I played Chirs Brook's Ext E9 last summer and liked it.

Jerry, very nice work.
I saw one of your steels on a bigscreen TV last night in an english pub setting, down here in the Golden Triangle.
(on a Crossroads guitar festival DVD, played by a Mr.R.)

Even down here in Thailand, Fessies rule!

Hey Drew, beautiful guitar and set up. Makes me drool. If you'd be so kind, how much did that baby set you back?....JH in Va.

Really nice, Drew. Jerry really has it all together, doesn't he? I can't imagine playing anything else. It's great being one of Jerry's kids

.

By the way, thanks for keeping Jerry's website up--it looks great

John,

You're welcome.

I am finding so many cool chords on this contraption I can't believe it. Definitely inspirational.

Now I need white boards for my D-10.

cheers,
Drew

Drew, I've gotta ask... does the white fretboard improve string visibility.. especially on # 1, 2, & 3?? Thanks

Drew- Beautiful Guitar,. Nice Extended E9 tuning . Yes, you can get a lot of chords with that. I notice your minor 3rds and flatted 5ths, lot of Mod. stuff there...al

Bless you Drew, to do some great playing on that beautiful guitar. Just curious, what kind of playing do you use the 12 for, ccompared to your D10. Awesome axe, congrats! Jeppe

DREW what is your open tuning? thanks

Eric West · Post by **Eric West** » 25 Apr 2005 4:49 pm

YESSIREE! Those white fretboards AND pickups are kind of catching on aint they...

As above I'd like to know the tuning as well.

Listening to Bill Stafford's Going Home CD he sent me lately has given me the urge to at least try an XE9.

Nice guitar!
