Saw him today on RFD tv backing up Del Reeves, Loretta Lynn and the Bros. He also did a steel instrumental on Bye Bye Blues. Don is absolutely fantastic!! It's on again at 2am west coast time if yer a night owl. Check it out!!

I saw Don on there with a pedal guitar a few days ago, but I like him better with no pedals.

Don was great last night! The guitar appeared to be an all wood Shobud, no metal endplates. I believe it was a d-10, but may have been D-8. White fret boards. 3 pedals on the front neck, none on the back neck. Is that what you all saw?

I've met Don when he was on the road with the Wilburn Bros. He's a true pro and a gentleman. He was easy to approach and showed interest in what you had to say.

I thought it was a double 8. Very cool looking guitar.

I think I saw him on there one night playing a double 12 MSA. It was black and had the old MSA logo.
