I've just recently spent a week here with a dedicated student, who is an amputee veteran. After trying with several manufacturers he had a GFI built where they transferred the 3 "normal" E9 floor pedals to work on knees, with three wrist levers that surround the right wrist. I sat down to play this guitar for some time and found it worked very well, extremely well thought out, and very nicely built. Along with the normal GFI quality it adds up to a fine instrument that is a big help to a guy who has already transcended far more than most of us go through. It took a lot of energy and time to make this custom guitar, and my heartiest congratulations and admiration go out to the fine folks at GFI. Way to Go!

What a wonderful thing, very inspiring. And my hat's off to the veteran who gave so much and is charging ahead with his life.

That's the Richard with this unique fine steel in the last post, I'm sure he'd be glad to talk with any of you about his wonderful guitar.

Mark this is one great guy, we are dealing right now on some items he wants to unload from his stock. He comes to our fl. club jams, and is an inspiration , I cannot wait to see him play out, and I am encourageing him to do so, I think it would be great. I know what playing with difficulties mean with a spinal chord growing against my backbone. I will help him all I can. Thanks for posting this, to help others that think they cannot do it.
