| Dave a Carter Starter would be a very good choice for a beginner....what you get,(S-10 3x4) for the money, would be hard to beat IMO. |

You might also look at the Desert Rose guitar.
From what I understand they will give you credit on a trade in to one of thier pro guitars.
Seems like a great idea. |

dave i agree with roger
a carter starter is a good bet
also bobbie seymore has a emmons
student model at about the same price
and you can add knee levers as needed
and it has a good tone!! |

Jack-does Desert Rose make an entry level/student model?
I checked out their website-the least expensive guitar shown is an S-10 for $1,800.

I just talked with Chuck Back, the owner of Desert Rose steels, here is the info...
Black formica body..double raise, double lower changer..George L, E-66 pickup..
Gotoh tuners, 16-1 ratio...neck like a pro model...$770.00 W/pro quality case...if you trade it in on a pro-model within a year you get "ALL" that you paid applied to your new steel. What a deal!
I played one and they are very well built.
It is going to be around 110 here today..wish I was in Windsor!! |

For a real beginner, I would recommend Jeff Newman's "Pedal Steel Guitar Techniques" and "Right Hand Alpha" before the "Up From the Top" series. You need to learn HOW to play before WHAT to play.

Thanks for the info, Jack. That does sound like a very fair deal! It would behoove Chuck to get that info and some photos up on his website.
Not too bad in Windsor today. It will be a high of 86. But it gets better than that...heading down to Monterey for a couple days to combine buisiness with pleasure-it'll be a high of 69 there-AM clouds/PM sun.
