Jim, Hi, Mark Pringle again,..well, I watched All of your hard work last night on the CBS "Elvis"! As far as music props' go,..they did a Great job', with Your Help! A couple time-line compressions had me scratchin' my head,...but, overall the show wasn't bad! Their rendition of the Overton Park Shell sceane was in-correct,..and when Elvis was on the Dorsey's Show He didn't use the early Martin with the stick-on letters,...but, It's the FIRST time I've seen the stick-on letters represented Correctly! When they ran the credits at the end, they were compressed,...so, I missed your name!? Hopefully they gave you Credit! Mark.

James V. Roy		30-Jan-2005 22:21
Hi Mark, Thanks. I'm not sure of the one in Vegas with Liberace, I'd have to see a picture. By then, though he was using his D28 with the leather cover. He also had it at the time of the Dorsey Bros. stage show appearances but did not use it but used a D18. All of the gear for those performances, except Scotty's, was rented. Jim

Mark Lee Pringle(ETA)		29-Jan-2005 07:14
Mr. Roy, What a Great job on Scotty Moore's web-site!!! Which brings me to ask',...what about the Martin guitar of Elvis', that he used on the Dorsey Bros.' Show and is pictured with Liberace in Las Vegas, (the first time,...'56)? It had the "two-pices of String" for the guitar strap that was tied in a knot about a foot or so, from the head-stock, and it seemed to have a white-dot/fleck on the lower portion of the pick-guard? Was that one of the "stick-on letters" Martins, post stick-on? Or, the first leather-cover Martin , pre-cover? I can't seem to find that white-dot on any of the other Martin's pick-guards?! Thanks for your time, Mark. Girard,Ohio 44420

I went to Memphis in 2002 for the 25th anniversary i loved it. Have you any more pics from then of around Memphis and Graceland. I love looking at other fans pics of when i was there. Thank'you i love your Elvis photos.

Del Grace		27-Aug-2004 03:15
Nice sight people.I love guitar bands, check out these steel guitar pickers and guess what? They are black dudes but they are awesome on those guitars man.www.sacredstrings.com

Hi Dave! Bob Thompson here. Hopefully you remember me from from NAMMs 2002 and 2003. I was the New England DSM for Fender during that time, and spoke with you at the booth while you were working your craft. I've moved on to other less corporate challenges (no negative reflection on FMIC tho! Without a doubt the most incredible group of people I've ever had the pleasure to be associated with, not to mention the wonderful products as well! Hardest decision I ever made was to leave Fender, but the correct one). Now... university instructor, Berklee Summer Sessions, upcoming advanced guitar instruction website / publshing company and started a killer boutique guitar company with two partners, launching at Winter NAMM 2005. Anyhoo... finally found your pix of NAMM '02 and '03 and I have to say the most sincere one thousand thank-yous for visually preserving a very joyful and exciting time in my life. I was elated to see that several shots had me front and center, along with the impromtu jam with Johnny Hyland at the booth, which I thought was lost to the air.. didnt see anyone snapping pix because I was playing. I took lots of NAMM pix myself, but none with me in them, obviously. It was a blast to see yours, and relive those ultra-cool times again, for a brief moment. If you are ever up in the Portland, Maine area (please consider it an invitation)I would be honored to give you the tour of the shop and show you the instruments, as I know you appreciate the finer aspects of all things guitar. Hmmm... maybe get the exclusive pix of serial number 000001. Ha ! Take care, my friend. And thank you again so much for your presence at the Fender Booth. It is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Bob Thompson Sales / Marketing Director C.P. Thornton Guitars LLC

As an Overton Park Shell volunteer for almost eight months now, it was great to see the Elvis mural in its original form! You can check out this years schedule at : http://hometown.aol.com/crcleven/myhomepage/favorite.html Thanks again!

Enjoyed browsing your pictures. I have lived in Nashville for 50 years and never ventured in a honky tonk. Your pics might make me take a chance ;-) Visit my galleries for pics of Nashville Neon.

Hello, I'm Dave Ryan of Cerritos California, just saying thanks for the pictures and info on the Stratocaster. I found out about your webpages from one of our enthusiastic members at the Custom-Stratocaster group at Yahoo groups. Your page of the Clapton Strat is right on target with our group's theme, so I added the web address URL to our links page. Thanks and rock on. Best Regards, Dave Ryan http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Custom-Stratocaster

Jim, Great site and as usual you're exceptionally thorough! Also, thanks for generating interest in Memphis, I guess I'll just have to go after I finish Guralnick's book. I liked the old photos. You were making people laugh back then too by remaining so serious yourself! - ken

JVR, Thanks for your comments. The Avila dominates everything here, moderates the weather, and is just generally beautiful. Our security officer just finished a two day hike to the top of the highest peak - about 9500 feet. I wanted to go, but did not think it a good idea with a busted nose. One day! DiploStrat

DiploStrat		31-Dec-2002 17:57
James, Thanks for sharing. I confess I love looking at FDP photos - it makes everyone a bit more human. Happy New Year from the DiploStrat!

Do you have any current contact info for Roy Goode? I've been trying to track him down for a while and just landed on your picture of him at The Cavern. Nice Fawn AC30s!

kees		20-Dec-2002 21:50

James V. Roy		09-Dec-2002 19:32
Hi Chris. No I haven't had any luck with finding the repro knobs either. I got the covers and switch tip through someone that got them from Jim Rolph of Kentucky

chris graham		08-Dec-2002 10:25
i loved the photos of the '54 strat! i'm fortunate enough to own an early '55. i've looked high and low for repro bakelite knobs, without any luck. you mentioned repro p/u covers, so i thought you might have a suggestion. take care, chris

Christine Sweeney		05-Oct-2002 06:31
Hey James: My boyfriend and I also attended Elvis Week 2002 this past August. It was our first time in Memphis. We had a blast!!! Please e-mail us back if you'd care to compare notes!!! Although we did not make the big concert, we did do one of the Elvis Moonlight Cruises, and, since we could not get into the Jordanaires Gospel Brunch Sunday show, we opted for the Sunday Brunch at the Peabody Hotel and saw the ducks. We also spent an afternoon at Mud Island. We also got alot of cool pics, if you want to see them. Chris

Dean		04-Oct-2002 17:44
Did you take the photo of Bruce in the Garden holding the Fender during a soundcheck? Do you ever sell copies of the shot for personal use? Regards, Dean RI

James V. Roy		08-Jul-2002 18:12
Hi Ken, Thanks for visiting again. The diagram I have listed is for the old style jack. You can get a diagram for the stereo jack athttp://www.mrgearhead.net/faq/diagrams.php Good Luck, Jim

Ken Dillow		01-Jul-2002 22:01
Hi James, I,ve written you before and I was just checking your site again. I Thank you for reply on the Eric Clapton Strat. The kit I am installing came with a stereo input jack. It has three prongs for soldering. I am lost again. I've read that Fender changed these jacks at some time. Any idea how to wire this stereo jack or do I use the standard jack and wire it like the schematic that you show? Thanks man. KD

Ken Dillow		15-May-2002 23:04
Great website James. Could you clarify the input jack wiring on the Eric Clapton Strat

Candy		08-May-2002 02:45
Well Jim I told you I would get to your site!!!! Just a little LATE!!!

TK		23-Apr-2002 15:22
