Is Pat still in California? I remember seeing him play one at a steel jam in San Jose. I think that's when the old Fende ...

Might have been Blackie Taylor Music…before my time though. I heard he moved the shop a few times until he passed a few years back. I visited the store in Riverside which was the last location.

Al was playing a D-11 ZB.

I thought I had tried that but will try again...

thanks

Thanks John. I would love to see photos.
BTW...I played your Sierra the other day at the shop! Smile

Keep your eye out for the annual steel jam, too!

Joeseph Ybarra, Larry Tracy, Joeseph Carlson, Steve French, Ian Worley, Paul Sutherland, David Wren, Pete Grant and a few more not on line are up there. All nice folks!

No, it has "GS" stamped underneath. All those features were added later and I don't know by whom. The metal neck is just a little over 1/4" thick which makes it much thinner than the pr ...

Mine has pedals added to make it a 3x4, adjustable legs a loafer pad, a metal neck and edging.

Looks like a pro model, and most likely sounds like one. Mine still has the brown self paper. I may ch ...
