Through some great recommendations on this forum, I had the good fortune of ordering a couple of D2F padded covers recently for my old Sho-Bud D-10 & a '65 Blackface reissue. I just wanna say that they're really great - snug fitting and real nice to look at.
Tom Palmer was a real delight to deal with too - especially those great stories about when he moved to Nashville years ago! He's a great ambassador for the pedal steel.
Thanks for the great handiwork Tom.
Now my Nashville 112 is looking pretty naked!
PSGs: Derby D-10, Sho-Bud Pro II Custom, Mullen Discovery
Various National lap steels: Grand Console, New Yorker, Dynamic, Chicagoan
Resonators: Dobro Model 45
Amps: Nashville 112, 65' Blackface Reissue
Bars: Bullet
I have D2F covers for all my guitars.... You are correct...they are GREAT. Tom makes a fine product; I have had mine for several years and they still look new. Besides that, Tom Palmer is a fine gentleman....
I have posted the story about my move to Nashville in the Stories Section (members only) here on the Forum for anyone who might like to read it. It is entitled "How meeting Johnny Cox in 1973 changed my life".
Love the nice snug fit of the D2F... Also have a cover from another manufacturer and although its beautiful, my complaint would be its much less snug fit.

Me too. And I need a new cover for my seat.
I also have one for my NV400. Great covers.
Carter D10 8p/7k, Dekley S10 3p/4k C6 setup, Regal RD40 Dobro (D tuning), Recording King Professional Dobro (G tuning), NV400, NV112, Ibanez Gio guitar, Epiphone SG Special (open G slide and regular G tuning guitar) .
I had one. Loved it. I left it behind at a gig not once but twice. The second time it got thrown away.
Are they available in a different color than black?
Black hides easily in a dark club.
I'm really happy with mine. As well as protecting my Sho~Bud when it's set up, it's great when it's in the soft case as it is a barrier between the guitar and the extra foam padding I use.
I have two nearly new D2F covers. One fits a Carter D-10, the other fits a Williams SD-10 600 series. I no longer have either guitar, so if anyone would like to have them...$30 each.
Edit:
(the Carter D2F is spoken for)

I was worried the standard Nashville 112 cover wouldn't fit over mine since I have added a knob guard that protrudes an inch or two beyond the normal face of the amp.
Tom cut a custom one for me. No problem at all for him, and it fits perfectly. He even marked it with a tag inside that says "Nashville 112 Custom" just so the world would know that it wasn't a mistake -- that cover is suppose to be slightly larger than normal.
Wonderful covers. I have two now, and will buy more once the hobby money catches up again after acquiring 2 more steels.
Tom custom built a cover for my Hudson 3/4SD-8 and it fits perfectly.
I need 4 more covers for guitars and will eventually get covers for my 5 main amps.
I have a heap of Tom's products to protect my gear - he is always open to "new" ideas too -- just a shame he doesn't make the cover for the Steelers Choice sidekick anymore, my one has been outstanding but has a couple of holes in it now and I could use a new one hehe ...but my seats are still pristine
