Ted said to Dean:
If I have a guitar in my hands, it ’s YOUR strings that are on it – whether it’s a steel string acoustic, nylon string acoustic, or electric guitar. Even the Coral electric sitar I am playing at Dave Mason’s studio when I was producing his CD has YOUR strings on it. Even my mandolins, banjos, and lap steel are all strung with Dean Markleys. YOU help me get a great sound— even if I play something terrible the guitar and strings are not responsible.
