Well guys, here she is. This is my first try on posting pictures. Sorry I put so many to look at, but I can't seem to wipe the smile off my face. This guitar is a beauty to look at and to play. Smooth as butter and sustain from here to there. Gary makes one of the finest guitars I've ever seen. Workmanship second to none. I ordered this guitar from Gary at the Dallas show and just got it last Friday. What a pleasure to work with Gary. He kept me informed about the different stages while he was building the guitar even to the tracking number. My kind of guy. I have played a Mullen since 1995 and don't intend to stop. But it's nice to have 2 great guitars that play absolutely wonderful and not have to worry about which one you take with you. I highly recommend Gary if your in the market for a new guitar. Give him a call, you wont be disappointed. Another thanks goes to Fred Justice for my case he made for this guitar. Fits like a glove with no movement whatever. Thanks Fred. Tootie Serice

Beautiful guitar Vincent!
Looks like our guitars are blood brothers (your front apron and my top deck).
I like mine more every time I play it!
Congrats!!

Do anyone know, does Gary make a U-12? I have tried to find his website but have struck out.

She is a beauty, that's for sure. As good as my SD10 sounds, I'm awful curious to hear a D10...boy my wife will be happy to hear that. After having a chance to play mine out several times now, I couldn't be happpier. I love the tone I got from my Thomas, but shaving off the pounds and not losing tone, is mighty nice. I know you'll enjoy it.

Posted 2 Sep 2009 7:51 pm A word of thanks
|
|
| Thanks to everybody that viewed or replied on my new Rittenberry. I've played it about 2 weeks now and it just keeps getting better. I've never adjusted to a new guitar so quick. This thing sings above the 15th fret like crazy with the best string separation I've personally ever played. Danny, you need to come play it and leave some of those licks on it. Joe and Murnell played it and I think they thought about whoopin me and taking it home with them. See you soon, Tootie Serice |

Vincent, very good looking instrument.
Is that a real piece of birdseye maple?
Where are they made and who makes them?
Many thanks |

Hey Rick, the guitar is built by Gary Rittenberry in Cookeville, Tennessee. The front apron is birdseye maple mica and the blue mica but the maple really looks real. Thanks for asking.
Hey Charlie Moore, I cant wait for you to hear this thing and play it. Its got that sound everybodys looking for. I've really grown to love the sound of those 705's. Its good to hear from you.I'm going to try to start going to the jams again. I miss all the guys and girls and the food. See you soon, Tootie
Danny, who made the fret boards for you? Man, they look great. So does that guitar. I'll be giving you a call shortly. Tootie |

Bryan,
I know this is off topic. Noticed your avatar is a Taylor T3.
Do you own one?
How do you like it?
Steve

Went to play this guitar last night. What a beautiful guitar and smooth as silk action. Tone to die for . I know this sounds like a broken record, but I can't say enough good things about these guitars.
