| I too was shocked to hear it was closing in Nashville. However I am glad its not gone for good, it is at least reopening somewhere else. I visited the store in Nashville a number of years ago and everyone was extremely nice and helpful. |

| I would bet that in the best of times it would be tough to sell enough stuff to make a living at it, maybe even enough to pay the rent. |

That’s too bad Nashville can’t support the Pedal Steel anymore. Well maybe Texas will still be able to, we can all hope the PSG ISNT gonna die.

Keep an eye out.
A prominent Nashville / Road player / Steel Mechanic is highly considering opening a steel guitar repair shop in Nashville.
Hopefully soon.

I feared that was the case. Wanted to order strings today as I have been doing for some time. Found their phone was out of order.

Anyone know if Steel Guitars of Nashville is open for business?
The website is accepting orders, however I have no indication that anything has shipped, phone number does not answer (message box full) and no reply from email attempt.
Thanks for any info,
Dylan

Doesn’t look like it. There are other options on line.

I did the same thing earlier this year (and discussed it in this thread: https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=369877 ). In the end, I had to dispute the charge with PayPal in order to get a refund. Nobody from Steel Guitars of Nashville responded. They are indeed out of business though the website is still up and accepts orders. |

| How is this site allowed to stay open and take orders if there's no business anymore? How are unawares customers to be spared the trouble of sending payment to a defunct entity? |

You gotta find out who "hosts" the site for them to take it down....Seymour is gone; so maybe Vic knows or maybe b0b can find out; because the physical biz closing; doesn't necessarily coincides with the website...so to speak.

I get all that, yeah. But it just seems irresponsible on their part to not be in touch with the host and have them do it.
Vic hasn't been associated with it for a long time now. Last I heard, and I can't confirm this, was that Bob Hempker was one of the people.
It was supposedly moved to Texas and that's the last anyone has heard of them and that was way well over a year ago. |

If anyone cares to know, the site is hosted by Dreamhost. |

Thanks Shane; but I guess I meant: "Find the person that submitted/paid for the website to be hosted by "Dreamhost"
I guess Dreamhost would know? But I'm not furthering this; I like the idea that Seymour is up there laughing at all the folks paying him even though "he has left the building"....ha.....LOL.
