Thanks for the mention, actually during the 60s, Gene was still working for Fender, and he said Leo Fender sent him to machinists school to learn the craft of making steel guitars. He founded GFI in the 70s, and was actually inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall Of Fame.
For a long time, Vince Gill used John Hughey as his steel player who made the famous break on "Look At Us". After he passed away, Vince asked Paul Franklin to take his place and he has done a marvelous job!!
