    New to the forum

    Hello!
    I'm new to this form..got a link from the Harmony Central forum. Anway, I wanted to share a quick story. In 1978 I had an old Telecaster that developed a microphonic feedback in the bridge p/u. At the time I knew little about guitar electronics, so I wrote a letter to Seymour asking what was up. He not only responded himself (I still have the hand signed letter), but I sent him the p/u, and they potted the coil for a very nominal charge.
    Thanks for letting me share.
    Peace!

    Very cool!!

    Mr. Duncan has always come off as a 100% class-act guy, and stories like these are the reasons why he's still the best!

    Welcome aboard, Bobby. And thanks again to Mr. Duncan!
