There comes a time when we have to face facts and the facts are, for me, that 93 is old enough to have sense enough to know when to quit. I've got to part with the best pedal steel guitar I have ever owned - a Bobby Bowman Special. I said special because this guitar was built by a Master craftsman In seventy plus years of playing that has been a lot of guitars.. I won't ship the guitar but will drive a couple hundred miles to deliver. OR,

The guitar is in show-room new condition. All of the metal is polished to mirror finish. Black with Mother of Pearl inlay. I'll answer any question I can by PM

Bobby made excellent pedal steels. I have a Bowman SD-10 push pull that is a great guitar!

Thank you, Lee, for the input. If it were not for health, and age reasons, I would not part with it.
