Mark: That's a beautiful Bud. Is that the original finish?

Thanks for the compliment! It was a refinish that Duane Marrs and Jeff Surratt did for me about 3 years ago. It's got the Marrs changer on it also.

Cheers!

Bill Moore,

Nice horns!

Ah yes, Manchester, I am originally from Howell. I made a few trips to Rosetties back in the day, right hand pattern if my memory serves me correctly. (wich it doesn't always) I used to also frequent the Palomino, and the Black Sheep. Those joints probably don't exist anymore.

christmas morn raining in the uk.
I am learning on a steel that belonged to jimmy c day and will try and put a picture on here soon I have ordered a new RAINS from TEXAS and am wondering if i should get this SHO BUD completly restored originaly it was black acording to MR BUDDY EMMONS who done it a lovely shade of green but its been knocked around a bit and is shabby compared to the instraments i see on here it still plays great and never seems to go out of tune so to restore or not to restore to its former colour and condition is my problem. regards to all this CHRISTMAS MORNING.FROM A RAIN SOAKED ENGLAND.

Wow TC!!! That Bud is gorgeous!!!!!! Regards. ..jeff

John, the area around Manchester is looking a little suburban these days. I live a few miles west of town. The former Palomino is a restaurant now, likewise the Black Sheep, no music. Rosetties is still operating, in the summer there are a lot of sailplanes there.

Here is my Blue Maple Mullen RP. Just put polished pedals and knee levers on er.

Here is my new babydoll ! Geeze, I'm in love all over again !!!

Here's my Star!

My corner of the world.

I think that the "Beards" Have IT!!!!!! Grouchy

tc...nice sho-bud...i had an old 'the professional' years ago....tell me about those undercarriage mechanics..i've never seen that on an old professional..was that some kind of custom upgrade someone did, or factory oriented? very nice!

Jamie,

Here is another of my steels, this is a great sounding little horn through the DeLuxe.

John, How does the Deluxe Reverb reissue amp sound,and perform?

Kenny,

These are great amps, the sound is pretty close to the old ones. It sounds very much like my old silverface DeLuxe.

Chris,

Duane Marrs did the renovation of the undercarriage with all new parts. It was in bad shape when I got it. Duane brought it back to life!

TC

Here's one of mine!
