OK Mike, now you've really done it!
What's Jimmy's phone number?

This is way Jimmy and Buddy are mentors to all of us.Thanks guys and keep it up.
Phillip

Ok guys,i guess it's my turn. Sure had a wonderful time at our get together and want to thank each and everyone for coming by along with a few who couldn't be here. Thank you all for your kind words,and most of all thank you for supporting Buddy! Ron Elliot named the guitar and we dubbed her 22 Mag. Special thanks to Mark Giles for building the cabinet. Buddy told him the basic tones he wanted in each neck and Mark knowing what he knows about wood....nailed it!! After a few final tweaks and a couple of knee lever changes,the guitar is now in Buddys hands.......and what great hands they are. Should be hearing it soon and plans to play it at Scotty's convention this year. I also want to thank you Buddy, for having the faith in me to build this very special guitar! After a lot of hard work and the obstacles that got in the way,i couldn't help but believe this would be one great sounding guitar. Seems like the harder they go together,the better they sound. To Johnny and Joan Cox,thanks for your nice comments and hope all is well with you there in Dallas.........we missed having you here. Special thanks to Bob Knight for the pictures and once again,thanks to all those who showed up for our unveiling. THE END!!!

Jimmie;
I think "The Beginning" would be a better choice of words in this case... Wish I could have been there with you all.

Print it out and send it to the FBI, That way they don't have to put individual pictures up at the Post Office.

What was done on the string spacing issue? Did you go with same spacing on the 10 and 12, or is it closer on the 12?

same spaceing as the on both e-9th and c-6th

I think Buddy mentioned he liked 3/8 string spacing. That is just a little bit wider than the usual standard of 11/32. I alos have the slightly wider spacing on my Pro 1 Sho-Bud and I like it.........al

Is Buddy's initial copedent on the new axe posted anywhere? I know it's subject to change, but would be interested to know his starting point.

<SMALL>In rearranging my pedals A and C, I gave Jimmy a wrong knee lever combination for the new arrangement and had to leave the guitar there for him to correct it. When everything is in its proper place I’ll post the tuning and changes either here or Ernie’s site. Thanks for your interest.</SMALL>

John, Buddy quoted the above in an earlier post on this thread

Jimmie, thanks for answering the string spacing question; having them the same makes so much sense to me.

And I think it's awesome that you had the cabinet built for different tones on each neck; what a fantastic option.

Sounds like a guitar that'll set new standards.

I added a few more pictures to the JCH Page.

Kudos to Bob Knight for sending them!

Is the guitar the length of a 10 string or a 12 string? In other words, are the keys on the 10 string neck spaced normally and the 12 string key spacing compressed, or are the 12 string keys spaced normally and the 10 string key spacing stretched?

As you know Jimmie, I'm sorry I couldn't be there (and Buddy). I was in the studio.

Hope to see you both again soon!

As Bob's third picture shows, the keyheads are the same length and the spacing between the tuning pegs is different on each neck, so one of them isn't "normal".

This event was discussed tonight on "The Tribute to Jimmie Crawford" on Steelradio.com

I know some of you haven't seen this post, so I'm bringing it back up to share.

I was proud be considered a friend by Jimmie, I will miss him daily.

Bob

I agree completely, Bob! I'm still in shock...
