Anyone in Seattle, Oly, Portland regions playing a Rittenberry 10 or 12 string steel? Hoping to kick the tires on one locally.

I'm in Seattle proper with a 2008 SD-10 Ritt. Slight design changes since he built mine but basically the same.

John, Steve and Ken have some really great Ritt's.
If Ken cannot save you (he is a Dr) maybe Steve can, (he is a man of the cloth) Hee Hee

Just an update: I recently bought the only SD-12 Universal ever built by Gary Rittenberry. It's a beaut! Also thanks to Ken Pippus for letting me play his Ritt D-10.
It'll eventually be an amazing extended E9 with 8 pedals, 7 levers. Woo hoo!

So nice to see you posting again, John! You have a one of a kind Ritt and it's amazing in every aspect as you already know. Ken is also a gem to our community. But then you already know that as well. Keep on setting the examples for the rest of us to follow.

Hi John,
I'm in Forest Grove, and I received last September the SD-10 4x5 Rittenberry Prestige that Gary built for me. I'm sure you've already discovered what a great guitar Gary builds. Action as smooth as butter.
