...beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

Does the Rittenberry have any distinctive sound characteristics; or does it sound much like most modern pedal steel guitars?

Rick.... I don't know what you mean with "usual sound of the modern steels"... but the new Rittenberry desing has a brand new character.... it is the evolution of the the sooooo mutch writin' Push Pull" Sound! We was testdriving the Ritty next to a PP and others....
and my ears told me the Ritty is my favorite one!!!!

So is the Rittenberry brand the successor to the Nashville LTD? I read somewhere that Rittenberry was the original builder of Nashville LTD steels. :?:

Gary Rittenberry, has never set out to copy the sound of a push pull, but to create his own unique sound. The Ritt has it's own sound. Its has a bell tone to die for. IMHO

Mr. Gary Rittenberry

Leslie, Mr. Gary Rittenberry is the maker of the Nashville LTD guitar. He made em' for about 5 years (87'- 92'). My LTD still plays like a champ! I talked to Gary on the phone yesterday and he said he'll have his Rittenberry website up in a couple weeks.
