Brent Mason is one, (amongst others), that made me come to realize something. I'm not crazy about country music. But it's country singing and lyrics. (Broad brush mind you. I like some.) But I love country pickin'.

I think it was Chet Atkins who ruined it. Trying to polish it and sweeten it and make it perfect, when it was already perfectly imperfect.

Funny you should say that. I LOVE George Strait. He sounds like that "quarter-in-a-jukebox", out in the middle of nowhere, in a stainless steel diner, kinda music.
I grew up on country music.
My family is from the hills of West Virginia.
Coal miners.
Here's a shot of my aunts, uncles, grand parents and great grand parents before they moved to Detroit.

Funny. I was talking to Joe Glaser earlier today about this guitar. Joe's personal e-mail address has "52" in it. We started talking about the SD Five-Two pickup and Joe told me some really interesting things about that pickup---which is what Brent used up until the time he was a beta tester for the Tele vintage stack.
Regardless of whether or not you like Country music, I wholeheartedly endorse the Ken Burns Country Music series. It's on PBS and Netflix discs. Watch it. You won't be disappointed.Evan Skopp, Inside Track International

I think that is the case for any quirky artist model. Fans what exactly what the artist plays. If you water that down, you lose the appeal of the model.Administrator of the SDUGF

Fender probably won't sell many of them. The Glaser String Bender might throw some people off too. On the other hand, if you're a country picker and a huge Brent Mason fan it might be just what the doctor ordered. I'd love to at least try one!“Practice cures most tone issues” - John Suhr
