Bob: I started a yahoo newsgroup that is devoted to both of my Fender 210's. One is a production model and the second is one of the prototypes. I invite all to visit and please feel free to write with questions and comments. http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/FenderPS210/

Thanks,
Paul Adams

I did a little write up about the PS-210 at the Steel Guitarists of Hampton Roads website which is: www.evertize.com/sutphin They were/are a great guitar and just a bit ahead of their time. I was at Blackie Taylor's store in California when Gene Fields unveiled them. They're a nice piece of craftmanship! Also, Howard, you got any drawers on in that photo? ...JH in Va.

We'll leave that question unanswered...

The PS210 is such a well engineered guitar. I love the 11/32 parallel string spacing and yes, waaaay ahead of it's time.

There's only one downside to this guitar...it is reall, really heavy. I weighed it on a bathroom scale which is not the most accurate, but 62 lbs (without the case)....whew!!

My friend Gene Fields of GFI Steel Guitars designed the Fender PS210. He is a master designer and builder. Jody.

Howard
The cool weather is coming soon, I have your
jacket that you left at my house last March,you had better put your pants on, I would loan you a pair of mine, but I lost them.

That photo is my favorite

I just hope I don't have to play out...

I guess Fender thought they'd also lose their pants if they stayed with steel guitar.

Howard, just think! If you got excited you could add a "center" knee lever....JH in Va.

Hi group:

Congratulation to Paul Adams for starting a Yahoo! Group supporting the Fender PS-210.

Would it be nice if Gene Fields, the designer of this fine instrument joins this Yahoo! Group and share some more of his comments on this guitar.
