The Steel Guitar Forum

I play the heck out of mine at least three times a week.
Not problem one. Good tone and a great work tool.

Thanks Again,

Congrats Bob!
You'll find it to be one of, if not the the best guitar you've ever crawled behind.
I've made a few simple modifications on my own guitar, which will make it even tighter, truer, and a whole lot more quiet.

Feel free to drop me a line, and let me know if you have any questions that I might be able to answer.

I just finished up an album project, playing my 07' Ultra, with Brian Gentry.

Tony,
Very nice! Thanks for posting the pic.
You're a better man than I am, if you can play one of these things 'left handed'.

Within a week, or sooner, I'll be posting a video featuring the GFI nylon bushing modification.

Check back, or drop me a line.

Hi Dale, are you a lefty that plays right handed?
I tried that a long time ago. It was awful.LOL
I have a better chance of getting hit by a bus twice in the same day than playing right handed.
Is your GFI keyless? There was quite a controversial thread on that a while back.
To me in a nutshell, it's like anything else you get that's new. You need to give a fair amount of time to get used to it.
I'd like to try the Ultra Dbl 10...but no lefty's are ever available to demo.
I got the uni because I alway's wanted to try one. And the only way that could happen was to order one!!
I like it a lot. but can't seem to break away from the Dbl 10...

Nope. I'm a natural righty, and I ain't even quite able to play right handed...naturally.
I just thought that particular video clip would be kinda funny to you.

HAHAHA YES... THE 2 LEFT HANDED SWORDSMEN. I REMEMBER THAT MOVIE..ANDRE THE GIANT WAS IN IT!!
VERY COOL... NOW I WANT A SWORD TOO!! LOL..THANKS

Tony(Kotula), and Bob(Ripperden),
I've got the vid's up, as of today. You can be the first ones on your respective blocks to have a peek.
Here's my YT 'channel'. See > "More 'goodies' for GFI players", on the right.
