I have a Blanton d-10 it needs a little set up work it plays now but it is day set up would like Emmons. Is there some one in Texas that is familiar with these guitars it sounds great.also can these be dated.I live in south east Texas,beaunont so closer the better.Is Mr. Blanton still with us, does any one know. Thanks to all

I had a Blanton volume pedal 3 or 4 yrs. back. Didn't know what it was. I had several people reply about it and this is what I was told.

Jerry Blanton is in San Antonio. At that time, he was still around and active. His guitars are highly regarded.

Folks who can tell you lots more here are Texans Justin Griffith and Al Michalzak, Geoff Cline. I had knowledgeable replies from Robert Deemy and David Grennan who is also in Texas.

Hopefully, some of these guys can give you a boost on your guitar.

Thanks jerry will start looking for contact info

Hi, Mike.

I'm not a Texan, but I know my way around Mr. Blanton's guitars pretty well. You can contact me, if you still need help. Cheers!

Jerry is still with us, far as I know. He's probably about 80 years young now, and probably still picking with George Chambers. He could be reached pretty easily.

I saw Jerry back in October. He was lookin' good!
