Josh Turner's steel player?

Theresa Galbraith · From: Goodlettsville,Tn. USA

I watched the Opry last night & liked what I heard. He's young & was playing a Marrs with Franklin fret boards.
Anyway, I really enjoyed his playing on the second song. The player is?

Thanks, Theresa

Theresa,
That was our own Jeff Surratt. Jeff works with Duane Marrs when he's not on the road with Josh Turner.

That was Jeff, eh? cool. I guess he would be playing a Marrs guitar. It seemed that he had a catcan reso-neck (or whatever they are calling their reso-product) built in as his back neck---couldn't see it well but it did not look like a stand-alone neck laid on top of the steel. Neat.

Thanks Bob!
I always wondered what Jeff looked like.

Tv Opry is Grand!

Thanks. Those are actually Marrs fretboards with an extra scale. They look very similar to the Franklin, but ours are stars and not spiderweb markers.I think Duane and Mr.Franklin were starting their guitars about the same time. The back neck is a pedal cat-can I designed with pullers at the keyhead and tuned underneath at the pedal stops. I will be offering this on my new product line in the coming months. We are moving our business to Mt.Juliet and will have a new factory there hopefully by October. Jeff
