Got a friend looking to buy a set. Who makes them these days? Thanks in advance,

Give Bill a call at the Williams Guitar Company, he may sell them or know where to get them.

I think these are the ones you want.

I use his lightweight airline legs when I have to fly to gigs ... they work a treat and are very solid - my Zums do not move around at all with the lightweight legs installed.

They look exactly the same as a standard leg, but weigh considerably less

Thanks Jerry. Do you know who Ray is?

No. Can't recall anything about him. I have no experience with his business. I just know that several players have purchased these legs from him.

I'm sure someone else here has more information about the Ray, the man.

I’m a different Jerry

but I think this is whom you’re talking about. If I remember correctly, “Ray” is his last name. He recently made a custom length set for me, excellent quality & quick shipping, very reasonably priced too. Here’s his email address suncoasteasycom@yahoo.com

OK, guys, that's a good enough recommendation for me.

Ah. Good. I was going to provide this link too. But I've known the site for years and have never heard any recent feedback to know if it's even still active. This is good to hear.

I have a set of both types of his legs: the COS chrome over steel, and the lighter chrome over alloy which he calls Airline Legs - considerably lighter. As above, they are great quality and reasonably priced. I received them fairly quickly too.

His name is Alan Ray. I bought a set of his alloy legs in Dec, website says $149 but the price has gone up $10 to $159. Shipping to CA was $16. Saves about 3 lbs, very well made.

Those are the best legs ever made for a steel guitar.

Emailed Ray Tuesday evening. Got an email reply Wednesday morning with a quote for 4 legs.

I bought a set from Ray back in December. I got a quote the same day I emailed, in fact it was about an hour after I sent the email on Dec. 6. I placed the order on Dec.7, had the legs in my hand on Dec.10. (Texas delivery)

Great service, great product.
