Just another reminder of our website featuring the "SS HAWAIIAN" steel guitar is online and has detailed descriptions and pictures of everything that went into building this steel.
We would be honored to have those that have not yet signed the guestbook before you enter the site; to please take the time to be listed as a guest of our website.
Thanks for your time and encouragement; as I put all Non-Pedalers on the highest pedistol.

Hi Ricky Davis:
I assume that you displayed your new SS Hawaiian lap steel guitar at the St. Louis convention and I'm wondering what your assessment of the responce to it was from the visitors and players there? Were you able to get some orders for the guitar at the convention?

Hi Al; I didn't attend the convention this year; Had to play gigs instead. We are getting great responces about the SS HAWAIIAN but no orders yet. I really didn't expect anyone to order this guitar; as the price tag is way out of the league from what is being made out there today, that any steel player wanting a non-pedal steel can obtain very easily.
The SS HAWAIIAN was mainly built because I wanted a 10-string steel and made from the best materials for sound and to cut "no" corners in this process. And of course it is very expensive to do that; but it turned out far better than I ever expected in quality/sound and playability; that I wanted to make it availiable to those that wanted to go that route. It is a custom built steel and steel players generally are not in the market for custom built steel guitars because of the expense and commitment to a non-popularized guitar.
Have fun.
