Thanks, Jon. I agree. Couldn't be happier.

I'd like to welcome Henry Nagle, to the Sierra family. Henry is well known locally for his "always the right note" guitar and steel guitar playing. He's also a sweet human and fellow instrument builder/craftsperson, working at Gryphon Music in Palo Alto.

Before he passed Bobby entrusted me with finding a new home for the Sierra I built him. I brought Henry up right away and Bobby agreed he'd be a great pick.

It didn't take a lot of convincing to get Henry onboard. Bobby is smiling!

Excellent. A handy quick release for flats. How’d you come up with that??? You could even drill a few holes to shave off grams for speed pickin.
Congrats on your beautiful steels and elegant designs.
Jim

Introducing Rob Clot, Sierra's newest family member. Rob is a good pal, great player and wonderful human.

After his first few days of ownership, He did complain that the time he was compelled to spend playing it was messing with the quality of his housekeeping....sorry bro!

Thanks for coming on board Rob....forget the damn dish pile, just keep playing that sweet Sierra!

It is larger than today's hex tuners.
I went to a hardware store and got a long-barrel socket, and wrapped it with grip tape.
Works really well.
If you have a socket set you can figure out the right size.
