Hello Tuukka,
let me chime in here.
A few months back I faced the exact same question you currently do, and I decided to go with the WBS Basic.

Not a single second did I regret this. The instr ...

That's a great looking guitar. Could you post a few undercarriage shots?

Let me try this again, didn't want the uploads yesterday:

Nice looking guitar. I love the color.

I really do as well. Wolfgang sent me a couple of samples before I ordered, since the colors on a website are always a little off. When I saw it I knew I also ...

Wow! Nice looking guitar..congratulations! Now get out of the office and GO TO WORK! Smile

I'm on it!!!!

Only got this here from the 'unboxing' phase:

I'll do some more when I'm back home (currently at th ...

After four seemingly endless months of waiting, tapping my fingers, and more waiting, my WBS Basic has arrived!
Sounds even better than it looks, mind you.
Now I only gotta learn how to play it pr ...

No doubt you're right, but pardon my ignorance, which mega brands do you mean? I dimly remember new Gibson models, right? Who else?

Height: get close to the bottom of the guitar, but not quite touching it. Too low and the levers feel odd, too high and bellcranks tickle yer thighs.
Padding: quite dense, as you can't shift much. ...

Does anyone out there have any information on the 'Framus Blue Lady' SL800/1 lap steel guitar? I read that it featured a 'major/minor' change...what was involved there? Any details appreciated!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! You bet I'll post pictures once I got the guitar Smile

Toll !! Aber Wie sagt man "Pedalsteel" auf Deutsch!?

Wir nennen es PEDALSTAHL.

Not to be confused with a STAHLPEDAL.

Well, in all honesty we simply call it Pedal Steel... kind of s ...

Wow, beautiful guitars...Welcome aboard matey Smile

Yeah, especially the Ultimate models, wow... I'm right now waiting for Wolfgang to send me some colour samples so I can decide what I want. He also ...

Hello Jan,

welcome to the forum. I am glad to see another member from Germany, there are not too many around here. By the way, where are you living? I am from Trier, close to the border of Luxemb ...

For the curious, this is the model that I've ordered:
http://www.wbssteelguitars.com/basic1.html

Relatively inexpensive (1200 EUR).

Hi, Jan. Welcome to the madness. It's a "nice little hobby." Laughing

Thank you, Dan!
I'm prepared for total immersion. Can't wait til it gets here.

Welcome to the SGF Jan!

Thank you, Joachim!
I've been horsing 'round the forum for a while already, but I'm finally making the switch to the big thingie with the pedals. Super excited and totally ...

So, after months (if not years) of constant pondering, I have ordered my pedal steel.
One of our few German builders, Wolfgang Bednarz, sells a "basic" model that i've just made the first ...

Oh wow, that's a beautiful guitar! Congratulations!

Hi Damiano,
we're facing the same questions right now. I've looked around quite a bit and it really seems like the WBS is the best possible option at the time. I also found some very favourable revi ...

Jan, check out guitars for sale on The British Steelies web site, also Ted Nesbitt at Rainbow Music Carrick Fergus Northern Ireland, who is probably the main pedal steel dealer in Europe, and last but ...

So I dropped Wolfgang an email and he has replied with details on what makes the Basic model so much cheaper. The changer is a much simpler pull-release construction and only allows bending up twice a ...

Jan, where are you in DE? I'm in the extreme southwest.

Steven

I live in Berlin!

You might contact the British Steelies Association. They might be able to help you find a good instrument.

Thanks, I'll have a look!

Jan, that probably means that the front legs are fixed, rear legs are adjustable. As long as you're between 1.7 and 1.95 meters tall, you should be able to make that fit.
Ah well, that makes sense. I ...
