I'm waiting on a pick order since May.
If this is the biggest rip-off that ever happens to me it will be a good thing. Fool me once, shame on you... |

Steven the keyhead model would actually cost more too build. Keyless is not for every body.
Whatever you build, it won't be for everybody. Pick your customers & serve them. |

As far as I'm concerned, the derby was BE's trademark and I would NEVER consider wearing one due to the respect I have for him.

I used to wear a derby, before I ever knew who Buddy Emmons was or what he did. I've still got one. I never put it on anymore.
Nowadays I wear a porkpie hat or a skinny brim fedora. |

Wouldn't one simply think of the traditional music concept of the "grace note" here?
