Still not available ? I'd love to try one out, hear nothing but good things about them especially from Emmons push pull fans. $:\$

Karen
When you come over for a visit, you can play my Infinity to your heart's content. Scott Martin lives here in Spicewood also and he has an Infinity as well. I think we have the only two in the Austin area, AFAIK.

As an extra bonus for driving out here to the lake, you can also try one of my wraparounds.

Karen,

I have to say that my Infinity D-10 is the best steel guitar I have ever owned. Tone and play-ability is unsurpassed to me.

I have owned:

Franklin D-10
Thomas D-10
Emmons p/p and Legrande D-10s
Sho-Bud super Pro D-10
Mullen G2 D-10
JCH D-10
MSA-Older ones S-12 and D-10
Sierra D-10

The Infinity smokes em all IMHO...

Cheers,
Mike

I have played Wayne Dahl's Rittenberry and it is a fine machine no doubt. If I were to buy a Ritt it would be a Prestige model.

Frank Carter and I have talked at length about his guitars too. We both agree that an Infinity's sound is somewhere between a Push Pull and a Franklin, best of both worlds.

thank you. I also like the prestige. apparently Gary is building a new S-10 model based on the Prestige.

Gary is one good guy and great builder. You can't go wrong with a Ritt IMHO

yeah I think I may buy one. I love my emmons but am frustrated with it at the moment and its heavy to haul around to gigs.

Those ole P/Ps are great Karen and are not all that hard to work on once you understand them. If I can do it anyone can! However, a great all pull guitar does afford you more options and a more complicated copedant is certainly easier.
