| Over the last few years I've noticed there are very few Finger Tips listed in the For Sale section. I've had mine since the sixties and have found it to be a wonderful instrument. I've found it stays in tune very well after road trips, air travel, etc. Needless to say it is a heavy guitar and with the technology of the instruments today it can be described as an antique but why is there so few For Sale ????? |

Because they are so good, few people will let them go. I love the old perms and fingertips.

Some of the Jackson models, as expensive as they are, seem to sound a lot like the Fingertips... I'm just gauging from some you tube video's not a side by side test.
Beautiful tone, for sure. I'm still kicking myself for not jumping on a stellar deal on a Shot Jackson Commemorative. That was the one that got away...I've kept all the rest! HAHA |

any and all models of the jackson pedal steel doesn't sound anything like a fingertip or permanent(they sound like a jackson pedal steel)....to me. Nothing sounds like a fingertip, other than a fingertip. Same thing with all models of Shobud until around 1978.

Hey Ricky...hope to have a chance to do a side by side someday....
Any opinion on which new production steels sound most like those old bud models? |

Well Ricky, I have had two Jackson guitars. They both sounded like Permanent Buds to me.

No Johnny; YOU make them sound like an old perm. That doesn't necessarily mean they sound like an old Perm...ha.
I heard that same Jackson(madison..whatever) that you had; played by Dicky and it didn't sound ANYTHING like the way you played it.
But thems my ears and if you say they do indeed sound like a perm or fingertip; then I CAnnOt beg to differ....mainly cause YOU'DA Man!!!!

I had a perm back in the early 80's. Top row on the left.
Sorry... I couldn't resist.
