What a nerve!!

Many of you will know of the saga of Davy Adams and his Bentley guitar built by Mr Johann 'Ron' Steenwijk. The guitar was delivered in an unplayable condition, and Davy has had no end of grief over the matter. I warned him and so did others of Mr Steenwijk's reputation in the steel guitar world. Davy and his other half posted factual reports on Facebook, and Mr S now has the gall to threaten them with legal action and filing a suit today for $650.000 damages for a lost 'huge' endorsement. The words pole and barge come to mind with this character.

Ken, he has threatened many people with legal action, but to best of my knowledge Mr Steenwank has never gone ahead with them, probably because of all the illegal acts on his own part.Really surprised no one in US has taken him to court, or just "visited" him.To those who do not know him in his Steenwijk persona or one of the numerous aliases he uses DO NOT DEAL WITH HIM.

If he could build steels as well as he builds a bad reputation he'd be doing ok

Has anybody a photo of this guy along with as many aliases known, I for one would post it on my site with a warning notice. He appears to be as bad at ripping people off as the notorious steel player from the Pyrénées not far from Bagnères-de-Luchon, better known as Crowbear Smidt, last heard of living in the northern part of South America. I suppose WillC will know more about this, but couldn't a rogues gallery be posted for all those ripoff merchants that prey on innocence. Or am I as usual being too radical??????? I wonder if Steewijk would like to elucidate on the 'Loss of the huge endorsement'.

[Ken Byng]

I don't know about Reliant - more like an FSO.

[Malcolm]

My apologies to Reliant, did not mean to slag them off.
