East coasters looking for neck work - Tommy is the man!

[thindave]

So, save yourself the pain and worry of shipping your guitar across the country - take a little drive to Wilmington, DE (or send it courier pigeon) and have your guitar worked on by the rootinest, tootinest hillbilly geetar player around - TommyInDelaware!

I asked Tom to take a look at a neck on a warmoth special I'm putting together and he was very gracious to take a look at it right away. Great service, great conversation, great cats and great iced-tea...

Jon is the west coast man, but if you want to stay in GMT-5, go see Tom...

(The above writer was not paid for his endorsement...)

I'll throw my +1 on that. Tommy carved a neck for me (my Blue Morse) that is simply awesome!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Yep, he did a great job on a Kramer refret for me. I need to get down his way and get a fret level done on my acoustic - buzz central on 14, 15, 16, 17. Tommy can shape it up in about 2 minutes

Cool BALLroom Tommy!
It looks like the perfect HANGout!

 

[banjoplayer]

great wall of balls, i´d like to see more pics of your first morse. I´ve saw one, which showd the back (very worn, like Steve´s). what happened to the 6th screw? did you hold it against the grinder like steve did?

 

[fogman]

If I'm not mistaken, this is Tommy's Morse and his first too.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[robelinda2]

you like your Albert, Tommy?

 

[Spudmurphy]

I'd like to hear the low down on that Morse ??

 

[fogman]

you like your Albert, Tommy?

he sold a vintage piece because of it!

 

[banjoplayer]

Thanx for the pix Fogman, I saw the following one, and I´d love to hear some stories, how this guitar became what it is and what it looks like. great ball!!

 

[beej]

Love that guitar ... it plays like butter! Also love the crate it's sitting on in the top photo

 

[robelinda2]

he sold a vintage piece because of it!

yeah that was a cool story. go the AL!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

That's Tommy's #1... I do believe that Steve has signed it 3 times because Tommy kept wearing it off. Belt buckles do wonders to the backside of a guitar

I have some very fond memories not only of that but also of Olympic Sub Shop right across the street....best food in the area.

That case with "Cocktail" written on it, is Luke Dargie. Tommy and I snuck a peek.

Tommy's one awesome guy and it's a pleasure to know him. His #1 is mint, Beej is right about it.

Haha it is a small world we live it. Yeah, I still keep in touch with Chris. He is a great guy and an absolutely stunning player. He had a HUGE impact on my musical development. He and Joe recently got Xfusion back together, so I can't wait to get back east sometime and check them out. I bought quite bit of gear at Earl Teat's....though I was more of a B&B guy. I think i got one of my jackson's at Earl Teat's.
