New Jackson Steel Guitar

Post by Roy Thomson »

My son Tom and I ordered a new Jackson Steel Pro 5 in June of this year. We have had it now for 10 days and we could not be more happy with this instrument and the Jackson were terrific. It was a simple and uncomplicated exercise as they did the build according to the specs sent them and it came perfectly in tune and set up. I am teaching Tom to play so he can use it with his band someday soon.
In the meantime I am having a BALL getting back at it after a three year lay-off.
I made an MP3 and wrote some music tab (Roy's Hieroglyphs) that hopefully will be of interest and help in learning "Bridge Over Troubled Waters.

My best to bOb and all Forum Members and if there are any questions post 'em up.

Here is the music:

Yup, I've been admiring these. Really gorgeous sounding and looking instrument.
