Hello all!
I work for Arthur's Music Store in Indianapolis and we just took in a Crawford Park single 10 and I am having a heck of a time finding info on it. I have read threads about JCH and have sent a note to Rusty Park, who I believe to be the Park in Crawford and Park. And I know Jimmie is the other half. But that's all I know! There's no serial number or any other writing/etching on the under carriage. Any info you all could provide on this brand or anyone else I should contact would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

| That looks like the guitar Russ Hicks played for a while. You might check with him. |

I believe JCH became Crawford/Park for a little while in the mid 90s but reverted back to JCH for several years before Jimmie passed away in 2005. Buck Reid or Elsie Crawford would know a lot more, and of course Russ Park.
bottom line: if Jimmie Crawford was involved, it's one of the finest steel guitars made. and quite rare

| I see four pedals and an extra rod by itself toward the changer end. What is that for? |

The owner of the steel passed almost 20 years ago, the steel has been in storage ever since. The daughter-in-law said she remembers hearing that pedal changed something only for a specific song the owner played. We haven't mapped a copedent yet, but we will soon.
