The only reason to move the floor pedals is if you can't use the left knee levers comfortably with the current position of the ABC floor pedals. I owned a 1974 MSA Classic that came stock with 5 floor ...

Hi Fred as others have mentioned there is no substitute for sitting down at a steel before you buy. Buying used lets someone else take the initial hit on depreciation.

I saw one similar to this, may have been the same one it looked to have a circular logo in the middle of the front apron. A closer look it said "Hughey". Later learned at one time he and Jo ...

I have never been able to figure out what pedal steel Lew Houston was playing on [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyG2Z7Glbwg]this video with Conway Twitty. It looks similar to an old Sho-Bud and ...

Several cross shafts look discoloured in the photos what is up with that is it corrosion?

Did GFI do the wood inlays? First time I have seen that on a GFI.

MSA always seemed to place the left knee levers too far to the right closer to the changer making the knees hard to operate for E9 unless you played Day. The 1974 MSA Classic I owned I had to redo the ...

I talked to Noel back in 1992 and cost with flight case and shipping to US was $4500 for a guitar similar to Tom Brumley's or Al Perkins'. Later on before he retired cost was $8000 to $9000. Whoever b ...

Good luck with the sale!

The photo of Mr. Murphy at this steel shows six floor pedals and it looks like the guitar was later modified to four floor pedals. Are the extra parts included?

Pretty quilted maple! What is going on with the crazing in the finish?

Dobro is almost never heard on commercial country music any more. You still hear a pedal steel once in a while but producers sure seem to have a bias against hiring steel players now. Thank God for Ma ...

Good luck with the sale! I think that is the prettiest Williams I have ever seen, the tortoise inlays really makes the guitar pop. Never seen that on any other steel.

Good luck with the sale. Can not go wrong with a Pedalmaster. I was not aware that Roy used the aluminum Pedalmaster logo on any of his later guitars after he switched the name to The General. The '92 ...

Pedalmasters are great guitars, and underappreciated. I played a keyless SD-10 for 15 years with nary a problem. Extremely well built.

Hammer ons and pull offs are used a lot when playing dobro and you need a steel with a sharp front edge for clean pull offs. I think I have used every dobro bar made and keep coming back to the Shubb ...

That's a Goldtone PBS, the mahogany laminate version. If it was set up at the Beard factory with a Beard cone there will be a label glued to the back stating that, inside the left sound hole.

Once Madoff is incarcerated they should ship him to Beaumont to keep Petty company. The two of them could discuss the finer points of Ponzi schemes.

You can buy an E.G. Smith steel bar from Greg Boyd's House of Fine Instruments. Quality on these bars has been variable, I recommend you ask for one that has a playing surface that is a full 3.0 inche ...
