Zum Emmons MSA Mullen My Pick For the Top 4 and most Popular Steels Made Today! Randy G.

Another request for subjective nonsense and opinionated brand wars. Rolling Eyes

Steel Guitars are usually classified as beginner, intermediate, and professional.

You should be writing to Albert Talley or the TSGA regarding people you want to see on the Dallas show.

Effective complaining requires that you complain to the person that can do something about i ...

In my opinion, this appears to be flame bait whose main purpose is to cause and watch a train wreck. I find myself growing weary with builder bashing.

I'm under the impression that Sho-Bud started in 1957 and ended in 1984. If Bobbe's figure of 55,000 steels produced is correct, the average production over those 27 years would be a little over 2,000 ...

What is the serial number?

Try a GL 10-1. That worked well on mine.

As one builder told me, everyone makes mistakes, how you handle the mistake is the what separates the great companies from the rest of the pack.
