Here is The Real Keeper!!!! Why did I sell it 10 years ago??

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

I guess so I could buy it back again

[Willie Gamble]

Hi JD, did that beast belong to our Bob Adams at one time?
Asleep at the steel

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

It may well have done Willie I cannot remember but I would love to find the parts to put it back to being a D10

[Uncle Roy]

JD, I wonder how long you will keep it this time?

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

Well Roy, Here's a thing I plugged it in the first time On getting it home And I think it sounded better than my green guitar, On investigation I find whoever removed the back neck Bypassed the switch and the tone controlAnd connected the pick up directly to the output socketI have concluded that anything you put between the pick up and the amplifier sucks the tone

[bob adams]

Mmm!! I removed the back neck but when it left me it was wired into the central plate as it would have been from original production. Tis a mystery!!
It certainly justifies being a keeper!! But then we all do it and regret it!

The attached is another regret!!

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

well its been missing from both of us for about 10 years Bob who knows??
It has a beautiful set of legs in very good condition but they are standard Usa height.....I could cut them downby 1.5 inches or I could swap them with someone who needs there steel to be a little higher????

[bob adams]

Jings, yes I suppose it is that long, time is going a tad quick these days.

A little background on that guitar John, I bought it in Southern Ireland and it formally belonged to The Irish Steel Guitar festival's Richard Nelson who used it on his travels in the US. I still have the Flight Case for it with Richard's luggage labels on it from Branson Missouri.

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

Well decision made I have now cut the legs down to a comfortable height, that rules out anyone tall talking me out of it, the case.is a bit the worse for wear i assum its the original?
