$1,900 for this is quite literally a "steel" - this guitar looks to be in AMAZING condition, and these old MSAs are workhorses that sound fantastic, in my opinion. No reason this guitar shou ...

Looks brand new!

Very early in my playing days, I sold my Maverick and bought a Dekley. I needed a few parts for it and when I called Bobbe the first thing he said to me was "A Dekley? What in the world did you b ...

My P4 lowers 9,6,3 a half-step and all my KLs are spoken for.

Roger - could you elaborate a bit on your 3rd string lower...what are you using it for?

I am so very, very sorry to receive this news. B0b's forum completely changed everything we know about this instrument.

Jerry lives near Indianapolis now with no shop to build - believe he reaches out to Show Pro and drives to Nashville to use their space for repairs (maybe one-off builds?)

Thanks for posting this - might well be one of the very last sessions Red did in the '70s.

Eminence made a speaker called the Commonwealth which was the clone of the JBL D-130 - except meant to handle much more power. This is the speaker that Fender used in its Steel King and reissue Twin ...

That's all the albums with steel on every track...good choices, Bas!!!

Crazy - I have its near-identical twin, and I'm less than an hour from its previous owner, Garry. Mine was built Oct '77. It sounds amazing...and looks as good as it sounds.
