Jerry and Junior. My wife is from Ohio originally, and I always tell her that it's not part of the United States. :-)
Wapakoneta. She says that's an Indian word, transalted in English means = my a** is in big trouble!  And all this time I thought it was a city in Ohio? :-< |

Danny, You always send out a sample set or two of those Jags to potential customers and endorsers don't you. I think that would be in order especially those who purchased guitars from you in the past.

Harold.
To answer your question, the endorsers we have came to us after receiving Jagwire Strings from our other registered artist/endorsers, whom most of which have been with us for a long time, and are prominent names in the Steel Guitar and music industry. We don't make a practice of sending free strings sets to "potential customers." We never have done that. We do however, usually include a set or two of Jagwire Strings with most guitar purchases.
If you buy an MSA, or Mullen steel guitar, you'll have Jagwire Strings on your guitar when you receive it from the manufacturer. We also do string sets for the Carter Starter guitars, and when one is purchased from us, a set of Jagwire Strings are included with the guitar.
If you bought a guitar from us, chances are very good that it had Jagwire Strings on it when you received it. Just about all of the sets we carry are available right here on the Forum from Bobby Lee, and from a large network of dealers internationally.[This message was edited by Danny Hullihen on 14 November 2003 at 12:55 AM.] |

Way to go Junior! But why do they have you sitting at a D-10 on a 12 string Bb6 string set package?   |

Welcome to the Jagwire Family Junior K. and what a wonderful matchup it is.
Jim; I believe that's the 10-string tuning Junior using on his bottom neck>whole tone lower than C6....>Bb6.

| Jim Smith. Look again, it's NOT a 12 string Bb/6th set. Check the string tuneings under the gauges. Juinors guitar is a D-10. Junior does however, have an 12 string guitar as well. The string set for that guitar will be different than the above. |

I met Junior at the Gospel Steel Guitar convention in Indianapolis last Spring. He is the most unpretentious, sincere gentleman that I have met in a looooong time. What a nice guy and he plays good too!! He's really got a nice touch on a Telecaster also.

Congratulations Junior!
I had one of your 8/8 D10 guitars . That bottom neck was set up so beautifully with great pulls that you dont' see every day. I should have kept it.......al
