As I mentioned last week, I got my new Rittenberry SD - 10 last week.
And it is a thing of wonder. 5 pedals & 5 knees , Wallace True Tone pickup with coil tap and lightweight legs. Best of all - this things SINGS! I did the ole Buddy Emmons approved test & held the legs as I strummed the open strings - it vibrates like crazy! The whole guitar vibrates as a unit. It has the same lively punchy feel as both of my push/pulls and is lighter and (obviously) easier to maintain. He used an new high gloss maple mica that looks like real lacquered wood.
I cannot say enough good about the Prestige model … it surpasses every guitar I have owned or played. Now I have to BEG Gary to get a shop helper so he can make me another D-10. Gary…. if your ear this PLEASE SAY YES & agree to make me a D-10!!!!
Thanks for another great guitar.
Jim

| You can not go wrong with a Rittenberry guitar. If you have questions Gary is always there and more than willing to answer them. Gary is first class all the way,as a builder and a person. Great looking guitar Jim. I know she plays and sounds the best. |

That's lovely!
I'm happy to be able to say that I'm now officially on the list for a new SD-10 Prestige! I had a long chat with Gary yesterday and, although it's going to take a while, I'm in the queue.
It will be my first brand-new guitar since my Emmons D-10 back in 2000. The wait will be difficult....

But it will be worth it!!! I've previously owned two Le Grande's and now own two very nice push pulls ... and this guitar has the punch & visceral feel of a push pull but without the quirks and a sweet sweet sound.
If Gary ever starts to build D-10's again I am the first in line. And sad to say my p/p's will stay in the case most of the time......

I took the new guitar out on it's first BIG gig...
We opened for Thompson Square last night. The guitar sounded AMAZING .... punchy & clear. It played in perfect tune despite the really hot weather. I LOVE THIS GUITAR!!!
