| It is a great comfort to know that even if you play a 30 years old pedal steel and you live on the other side of the world and you need some parts, Jim is there to help you out. It took him a day to make the parts and send them. Then the postal services of the US and the Netherlands took 4 months to get them here. But never mind their delay, Jim is the hero. |

| Jim is one of the best! I'm usually able to find items I need locally, but when I can't, Jim comes through and he does it quickly and fairly! |

Jim Palenscar is the epitome of pedal steel guitar. Jim has helped me out in last minute emergencies on numerous occasions, not a better person on the planet.
We are fortunate to have Jim here! Thank you Jim Palenscar! |

| I've got no expectations of finding myself on the west coast but I think I'd drop everything to go to wherever he might be if he comes east, just to shake Jim's hand. He's been good to me. |

Limited dealings with Jim over the years, but whenever I had a question or a problem Jim would always step up, even if I were not buying something at the time.
Many years ago I was having major issues with a steel that would not stay in tune despite my best efforts.. I felt the body was flexing, or the wood itself was temperamental.
Jim said something that has stuck in my head for many years..never forgot it-
"There are some pieces of wood that have no business being in a steel guitar"
I mean, c'mon, how concise and to the point can you get?..
The steel guitar community has a real good advocate out there on the left coast!...bob

| Jim's the best! He recently made a set of gauged nut rollers for my C6 neck and they make a huge difference. And for those of us close enough get togethers at the shop are always great fun! |

Jim is a Friend Extraordinaire... none finer. If we lived closer than 2200 miles, we'd be better friends, but a man that will help you, when he lives a long way away... is a Friend INDEED....
