Every one seems to be getting new guitars lately and showing them here on the Forum, so not to be left out, I thought I would show my new Williams D-10 except I have no way to post pictures.
I have to say everyone that said Bill Rudolph is one of the finest people to work with was 100 percent correct.
In a previous post or two I mentioned ordering a Crossover Model which after I got I found it just didn't work for me. Bill took it back and changed it to a standard D-10 8x5 and returned it to me ASAP.
Tone and sustain are everything you could hope for and the pedal/knee lever action are as smooth it gets.
I will post some pics if someone can help me.

As usual the pictures never do justice to how it really looks. My wife tried to resize the first shot and it made it slighty out of focus.
Bill uses a special process to cure the 7 layer finish and the luster is just outstanding.
Long before I was ever a cop I came from a machining background and his metal work is first class in every respect.

Delvin, I'm sure I don't have to convince you of Bill's workmanship but I believe you will agree that he builds a solid precision guitar.
It is only slightly heavier than some I've owned and it does not move or wiggle around when you use the knee levers.
I wanted XR-16's but delivery was slow so I went with BL710's and I doubt I would see much difference. I also went with Grover Tuners instead of Sperzels as Grovers are much easier to tune than Sperzels.
The standard guaged rollers are the way to go. Just a whisper of pressure at the first fret is all it takes to stop any string rattle.
I don't think changing a copedent could be any easier. Just remove the small retaining spring and the rod slips right out of the pull bar in a second.
So far I've played a few jobs and found the tuning to be very stable throughout the night.
