Hey Matthew, what's happening with your steel.....
There must be a way to keep that guitar, it's a jewel !
Just sell your other one you have. Once it's gone ,it's gone and you'll be sorry for this...
I hope all is well Matthew. Please drop me an email sometimes !
Kind Regards
Tomi......steel / (lefty ) |

This is a beautiful great sounding and easy playing guitar...if I must say! This guitar is like new and needs a good home! I recently have had numerous calls for left-handed guitars and this would be a steal at this price!

Man Matthew, I never thought there was a guitar out there prettier than my Tiger Maple D-10. That front apron kills me. Unreal! Sorry you got to sell it. That price is too cheep for a lefty, IMHO.

Bill,
You are right! This guitar is a beauty. Really wish I could keep it but I have a buyer lined up and I am sure he is going to be a real happy fellow.

Posted 14 Feb 2010 10:15 pm I have a great idea
|
|
| Maybe a right handed player should buy this, learn to play it and have one set up both sides of the stage like mirror images. That could open up the market. |

Tony,
I do still have my main axe the Emmons. I think it will be hard for me to part with that guitar.
The Desert Rose is set up Emmons, and has the upper changes of PF on strings 1 and 2. Also it has the PF pedal in P4 position.

Ok. So let's say an even 20000,- for both? Would you consider payment in oil? We have a lot of the stuff up here y'know. That and snow.. 
Anyways, thank you for replying, it was a long shot with this being an old post and all, but the instrument was beautiful.
I've been following the steel forum for quite some time but I've only recently joined on following advice from Norwegian steelers Tore Blestrud and Geir Sundstøl.I'm in the market for lefthanded steel instruments in general, and I'm thankful for all information I can get. My regular "ebay"-search doesn't work all that good because of "left" turning up in the description of nearly every righthanded instrument, but I'm getting there
Thanks again!
Best regards,
Stian Sveen

Stian,
Have you tried posting a "Wanted To Buy" in the classified section of the forum.
Lefty Steels are few and far between.
Have you thought about learning to play right handed? It might be well worth the added effort. |

Ah, wanted to buy, didn't see that one, thanks. Being a lefty, I'm pretty much a pro ebay-buyer for years, but these guys advised me in particular against buying pedal steels off of ebay, and rather find an instrument through the forum. I guess that's where you get the safety of the whole community thing and all. I'm trying to avoid having to get something built, but if that doesn't work out I know that f.ex the Williams company is lefty friendly.
Thanks again, I'll keep on searching, and I'll probably bump into you again!
Stian
