The Steel Guitar Forum

Just finished this Franklin D-10. Thought I'd share some pics. Graphics by Bill's sign.

A little jewel Tommy...amazing work! Carl

Outstanding work as always Tommy...it's so nice to see a craftsman put so much time, effort, and pride in their work to insure everything is perfect.

Now THAT'S a sight for sore eyes!

Nice! I recognize that guitar and I’ve played it a couple of times on gigs with Bill. It’s a smooth playing machine. Nice work Tommy!

"Beautiful"

Hey, I know that steel! Bill's gonna be a happy camper.

I Just Picked up my Guitar from Tommy Cass, what an incredible job of refinishing! It looks and plays like brand new! If you need your guitar refinished, or just finely tuned, he is the man!!

Beautiful job, Tommy! Congratulations to you and to Bill Holbrook, the owner. Hope you have many more years of enjoyment with your Franklin.

Good grief, that's beautiful work, Tommy!
I may have to ship you my Franklin for a total overhaul. Might as well during the quarantine when there are no gigs anyway...

Just what you expect from Tommy top notch beautiful!

Is there anyone in the world who has the magic touch like Tommy Cass? I would be afraid to leave fingerprints on it. It`s prettier than a girl in a bikini.

Tommy Cass; a great PSG Guru and a real gentleman. I have purchased a few items from Tommy and they were all first class.

I’ve lost track of how many pedal steels Tommy has rebuilt for me over the years... at least 8 or 10. The first one was in 1987! His work is always top-notch and meticulous.

Absolutely beautiful job Tommy. That guitar is to die for! I’ve had Tommy completely restore three different guitars for me and each one of them came back twice the guitar they were before. Simply one of the best people around working on steels. Miss you Tom! Hope to be up there to hang soon.

WOW! Custom painting even on the underside.

I rode out to Tommy's a few times with Bill. I saw all stages. Bill did the paint work under the guitar if anyone is interested. I went with Bill to pick it up. It's absolutely beautiful, a work of art. And it sounds as good as it looks! Another great job, Tom!

Thank you to all who commented.
Tommy

Anyone know why Franklin beveled the comb on the bell cranks?

I meant to say "on some of them" ?

[Two things I see here Tommy’s beautiful work an Mr. FRANKLIN’S beautiful simplistic pedal steel guitar design that’s stood the test of time.
