Joe,
After visiting with you today, I have to agree that the Fessenden is as beautiful as you said and the tone is great. However, Joe as good as you play the steel, I think you could take a 2X4 with strings and make it sound good.

Clyde, you'r making my head swell up. I enjoyed hearing you play today. You sounded good.
Mike, what pups are you using on your Fessy? Mine is a double 10 with 8&8 and I'm using GL 10-1s on both necks.

Hi, Joe
I know we are good friends so I want to ask a little favor of you. Would you let me borrow you new Fessy next weekend? I have a gig to play at a smokey old bar room and I don't want to get my Mullen messed up.
Your good friend!!!

Joe,
I'm glad your enjoying your Fessy. I started playing 8 yrs ago on a sd10 Fessy. 2 yrs ago, I bought a new d10 Zum, and love it. About 6 months after I bought the Zum, I sold the Fessy to a music store that also deals in used auto's. I regretted it on the way back home. After that, every time I went to the store, I would "tinker" with it a little, wipe the dust off, check the tuning, a give it an over-all inspection. When I would see someone playing it, I would think to myself "Don't mash the petal's so hard!" or "Don't hit the knee levers like that!" I couldn't let go. I never had the extra money to buy it back.
Well... me and my wife already had 3 children and 4 month's ago had another. A fine boy! We had to go to a bigger vehicle. Suddenly, I had an idea. I called the man at the store and ask him if he would be intrested in my wife's '96 Buick Lesabre Custom (remember, he's also a used car dealer ) He said "yeah.Watcha gotta have for it?" I said "I want my steel back!" He ask if I was serious, and when I told him that I was, he said "come get it!" I drove up there in the Buick, and brought my "old friend" back home . I bought 4 new leg's and 3 new petal rod's, and also had 3 new foot petals made 1/2 inch longer than the petals that came on it. While it was at the store, 2 or 3 buyers backed out on buying it. One even took it home, but then took it back to the store. I feel lucky to have my "old friend" back. Anyway Joe, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine. Congratulations!
Mitch
