What a wonderful time we had at the Illinois steel guitar show . Visiting with old friends and making new ones. Even on Thursday night the ball room was overflowing it reminded me of the St. Louis steel guitar convention in its hay day. |

Lyle I think he may whole the record for the longest continued steel guitar manufacturer if not he's very close I Know he was working for Zane Beck around 1975 an still going. An also he manufactures all his parts himself he should be in the Hall of fame of actual steel guitar builders. His customer service is impeccable. |

Jim those tuners are for the pedals and knees. Different but smooth and good sounding steel. I didn't ask him the weight. You never know what you will discover at these shows. |

Check out some Facebook videos of Johnny Cox playing the Fults on his set. This guitar has great tone and sustain, and it plays smooth as butter. Does not sound like any other all-pull I've played. Bob Fults hit a home run with his first attempt at building a pedal steel. It's awesome |

Thank you Dyke Corson for the kind words on Dads Steel Guitar... Dad is going to produce 4 more of these guitars at this point in time...
He will take your name and contact info and put you on a list if your interested in one....
no deposit, no commitment...
Dad does not want to be held under a spot light, or time line on these 4 he is doing... He wants to do them at his pace and not be held under pressure. This is a hobby, and wants to keep it that way. When he get this lot of 4 done, then he will contact the first 4 on the list and see who wants one and go from there... it might be 6 months, it might be a year or better... Dad is 80+ years young and just wants to move at his own pace and not have pressure on his shoulders... He has had a few inquiries and list started... still room for a few more. Thank you again Dyke for all you have done and words of praise. And thank you all in this forum for all your input, Q&A's and praise as well... Bob Fults' son, Brad Fults |
