New Williams

Post by B.Jenkins »

My brand new Williams 400 arrived Thursday,
and when I opened the case and the first thing I saw was the extruded knee levers, and they are worth the extra money to have them installed..And the finish that Bill put on it was exactly what I have been looking for.. He even ingraved mine and his name on the crossrods. and I ordered his new patened volume pedal attachment,it is out of sight and it works great.. also he added his own pedal bar mounts on my Williams, this is the third steel that he has put them on and thats a plus for the player,no wing nuts to lose.I have photos of it if any of you all would like to see it, I don't know how to put them on the forum, but I'll email them if you want to see it.. just let me know
God Bless

Congratulations, Billy!

Bill Rudolph is one of the nicest guys around, his guitars are extremely well crafted instruments.

Have fun!

Reggie, I bought a new B.M.I. D-10 but the weight was way more than I wanted to carry around, Thats why I bought the Williams 400.

Hi Bill, Your new Williams is one fantastic looking PSG.
BTW: What kind of camera did you use to take the pictures. The photos are very sharp and clear?

Dear Billy,

That is one beautiful steel, looks like the cousin of the one Bill sent me last month. That man makes a beautiful playing, sounding and looking steel guitar. And one of the most gracious guys you'll find to do business with. I will post some pictures of mine soon.

I have photos of the under side of the steel. just email me and I'll send them. The camera I used is a Sony DSC-F828 shot @ 5 million megapixals, lens a 28 to 200mm.
The moccasins is all I have left after buying the steel..

I think we "bottomed" out, so I'll remove mine & re claim some webspace for some of my future nonsense..... Image


If all Billy had left were his moccasins, I understand why he got out of the photo... Image<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by HowardR on 24 February 2004 at 04:35 PM.]</p></FONT>
