Rudy Gabriletto played steel guitar with the house band at the renowned Hunter's Lodge in Fairfax, VA for many years during the 60's and 70's. He was privileged to play backup behind the many Nashville acts who frequented the place. Rudy has become well respected by steel players and other musicians alike and is well known nationally as well as locally for his innovative, tasteful style. He and his group even played the White House for President Lyndon Johnson in the late sixties. Rudy has always been a "Shobud Man" and not until he sat behind the GFI guitar was he persuaded to move away from his vintage instrument. He says he loves the GFI especially for it's ease of playing and superior tone.
