You can ship it to me first and the I will pass it around to the other members. JUS' KIDDING! you are in. The newsletter will be coming by email so you will know me and thinks it's not junk mail. ------------------ JCFSC member since 2005 D-8 Stringmaster Fender Dual Pro GeorgeBoards S-8 is on the way!!!
Jody Carver Member From: The Knight Of Fender Tweed. Dodger Blue Forever	posted 22 March 2005 05:44 AM profile edit Can I come in? Are you serious Bunky? wow with that inventory you should be President Gary,send Bunky a "T" shirt he sure earned it Thanks for you support of Gary's JCFSGC It was all of Gary's idea and he has done a great job. Thank you as well Gary.
Rick Alexander Member From: Florida, USA	posted 22 March 2005 07:19 AM profile send email edit Welcome Bunky - nice assortment! Now you need a Custom, or at least a Dual Pro . . And Richard S. - he's the man with the collection! Possibly the only guy besides HowardR with a worse case of S-G.A.S. than me. Send that man a newsletter and a Tweed Knight decoder ring!
Gary Boyett Member From: Colorado	posted 22 March 2005 04:15 PM profile send email edit Richard, I would love to sign you up in the club. You certainly qualify!!! Since I can't send you an email (not listed)you will need to send me your address so I can get you on the list. [This message was edited by Gary Boyett on 22 March 2005 at 06:17 PM.]
Bunky Markert Member From: Baltimore, MD, USA	posted 22 March 2005 08:48 PM profile send email edit Thank you for the gracious hospitality. I was fortunate to have the clarity of vision and plain dumb luck to buy two guitars when I was nineteen and hang on to them (my Strat and my Tele). From the same guy as a matter of fact. But no amount of gear can substitute for credentials on the resume'. This assembled group has no shortage of experience, wisdom, and artistry. I'm pleased to be peering in from the edge of the parking lot. The newsletter is superb, BTW. Glad to be here.
Richard Shatz Member From: Quincy, IL, United States	posted 23 March 2005 05:57 PM profile send email edit News Letter Got it. Love it. Wadda you serious Fender freaks think about the White combo? I know it wasn't made for really serious steelers, but to me it's a great sounding Fender relic. I ;haven't seen anything discused. Just thought I'd ask. Richard [This message was edited by Richard Shatz on 23 March 2005 at 05:58 PM.]
Gary Boyett Member From: Colorado	posted 24 March 2005 05:19 PM profile send email edit Thank you Richard. I wish I knew more about the Whites. Maybe someone else could chime in on this. ------------------ JCFSGC member since 2005 D-8 Stringmaster Fender Dual Pro GeorgeBoards S-8 Fender Steel King
Jody Carver Member From: The Knight Of Fender Tweed. Dodger Blue Forever	posted 24 March 2005 09:51 PM profile edit Thank you Gary I received your Newsletter. I have a question...who is paying for the postage? I think you ought to consider a donation to cover the cost of mailing dont you? Think about it and discuss this with RA You shouldn't be responsible for out of pocket expenses for postage...Great Job and thank you for taking the time and effort to make this possible Best my friend Jody
Gary Boyett Member From: Colorado	posted 25 March 2005 04:12 AM profile send email edit No Worries Mate! I only mail out three or four per month. Considering what you have done to promote the Fenders this is nothing. Keep sending the articles. Have everyone pitch in on Tips & Tricks and we can keep this going. The success of the club is the members. i am only a lousy typing editor.

John Bechtel Member From: Nashville, Tennessee,U.S.A.	posted 25 March 2005 12:23 PM profile send email edit Well, I received the March, 2005 Issue of the News~Letter, so; I assume I've been Drafted as a Full~Fledged Member and I accept. I'll try for an article-of-interest in the next issue, although I'm not a gifted writer! ------------------ �Big John� Bechtel �49-�50 Fender T�8 Custom �65 Re-Issue Fender Twin�Reverb Custom� 15� Eminence
Jody Carver Member From: The Knight Of Fender Tweed. Dodger Blue Forever	posted 27 March 2005 06:37 AM profile edit In looking over on the thread that Gary Boyett started regarding his Newsletter, I wanted for those of you who dont know this Forum member as well as I do to read his comment with regard to the members of the JCSGC.I quote this member as he writes.... ............................................. I'll try for an article-of-interest in the next issue, although I'm not a gifted writer! ............................................. Well I disagree. This steel player and most gifted man can not only write on his experience with non pedal guitars,but he is somehow not able to really make himself known to those of you who are not aware that he can take a Fender guitar apart and put it together as fast and I did an M1 rifle years ago. His name is "Big John Bechtel" so if you want something of interest,Gary should ask John to add something that would be of interest all of those of you who are not aware of his writing ability. He can take any guitar apart and put in back together before you can say."LET'S EAT" which he does so well and more. Thank you Gary and you as well Big John,dont be so modest, You Da Man. John knows a great deal about Fender which few these days do and that includes this steel player. Modesty will get you no where.C'mom Give me a break Big Guy. Your FENDER friend has spoken. edited for asking John to write an article on the JCFSGC and you can leave the IHOP for awhile Have a great day. .............................................

Gary Boyett Member From: Colorado	posted 27 March 2005 12:42 PM profile send email edit John has sent me an article for the April newsletter. If I tell you what it's about it will spoil it.
