I picked it up today. Good guitar, solid stops,good tone, Wallace True Tone pups. Randy builds a good guitar. The pictures doesn't do the wood justice.

Something 'bout this ain't right.  What did you do with the Nashville? You should donate this to me along with your talent and playing skill of course. Well at least it will get played like it should , if it were mine it get "plucked"  . Congrats! Does Mike know it yet?  |

Mike, I'm tickled to death to get it. Russ Hicks played a jam last month with it but took his licks with him. Roger, come up to our next jam and listen live. . I might try a video one day but I'm afraid it want do the guitar justice.

I Live in Gray, GA. About 45min. South of Atlanta. I am fixing to try and learn how to play this fine instrument. I just feel like I am so far away from everyone which makes learning and getting together with friends and having a good time playing a lot harder. I wish I had someone close that I could call on for lessons, but being new I don't know if there is anyone.  |

Hopefully you'll find someone to help. If not, be sure to get Winnie Winston's Pedal Steel book. It's great and it will help you alot. There's alot of instruction these days. Get in there and dig.

Todd, we've been talking about a posible Friday night and all day Saturday jam/show. Keep an eye out for it. It would be next year if it happens.
Lee, Lord willing I'll be playing it Sunday morning in church. Looking forward to getting it out of the house.

| Let us know how it goes at church, Tony. I play a regular guitar in our church's contemporary Christian band. I've never worked up the nerve to play pedal steel there. One of these days... |

I played my first session yesterday with my Russler and I got good compliments on the sound of the guitar and it plays great. The Wallace single coil pickup was quite as a mouse. If you're looking for a steel call Gary Skelton and check out a Russler. I love mine.
