| Hey why not, it's been awhile since I've had a push-pull. I bought it from Al VanWhy, IMO, a heck of a nice guy. It's set up in my living room now so I can just enjoy it, eye-candy, with an old Fender Twin Reverb and it sounds great. Not as great as it did with the last two owners, but hey, I'm having a good time with it. If you would like to listen to a little of Al's picking, go to, www.cramerbrothersband.com, and I believe that is Al on the opening page of that site. I have no intention of ever selling this guitar, for my own reasons, not only for the sound but it's history. |

But do ya'll have a wrap-around?  Oh yeah. There's a difference. Sorry had to brag.I get to play so many fine guitars.it's seldom I get this excited about the sound of one. Maybe it's partly a psychological thing .After all. It is the original design .And I know this sound is not everyone’s cup of tea .But if you liked Weldon's sound on the early Connie Smith stuff. Then you know where I'm coming from.
Not to mention the Touch My Heart cut. |

| Hey Bobby I have owned and sold two wrap arounds.I wish I could have held on to them but both had only four knees and my long time push pull has eight. The decision came down to do I really want to fool around and start mixing after market parts with originals. But you are right the sound of a wrap around is another world! |

I am very fortunate to have a few wraparounds, which are all used by me professionally and sound equally awesome, though distinctly different. Other wraparound owners here in CenTex that I'm aware of are Randy Reinhard, Marty Muse, Bobby Flores, Jim Loessberg, and Bobby Dardeman
