I'm considering having some bumper stickers made up for sale to the steel community. Here are two possibilities. Please use the poll above to vote for one or the other, but ONLY vote if you would seriously consider purchasing one, assuming the price were $5 including shipping within the USA (and $6 ex-USA).
If you think you would buy one of EACH, then please vote once for BOTH of them.
If you think you might buy MORE THAN ONE of a particular bumper sticker, then please vote multiple times to indicate how many you might purchase at that price.
In the end, I'd like to have some kind of a feel for how much demand there might be for one of these bumper stickers. (It's not a commitment to purchase just an indication of an inclination to purchase.)
Finally, if you want to suggest an alternative wording, etc., please add a posting here and do so. But, do me a favor, and let's skip all the sexual innuendo bumper stickers (you know: 'Steelers Do It Without Fretting', etc.) I'm not gonna go with any of that genre.
Thanks!

The picture implies that a steel guitar is the one with pedals. It would be hard to include a picture with the wording you've chosen. How about a six-string lap steel, or an old Oahu acoustic lap steel. There are so many flavors of steel guitar! My first thought when I saw your bumper stickers was, those aren't steel guitars, those are pedal steels. Maybe I'm nit picking, but you asked.
I was playing my lap steel in a music store one time and someone asked what it was. I replied, "It's a solid body dobro". Maybe you're right, if I'd been playing a pedal steel the question wouldn't have been asked. You've got the right picture as that's what the great unwashed visualize when they think "steel guitar".

Nice! Go with them the way they are Jim. I would ad a ! instead of a period after the "NO".

Jim,
When you get the bumper stickers ready to go, let's talk about a trade for one of my BIG Tuning Wrenches?!  Unless of course, you've just ordered one  (FYI...just kidding kinda like your BIG Wench pic Jim! ha) Seriously, either Bumper Sticker would work for me...had a lady the other day guess my LDG was some type of water sprinkler...I didn't have the heart to tell her different!  Good Luck! Carl |

| Thanks guys. Jude, you make a good point and, if there is enough interest from the non-pedal guys, I'd make one of those up too. So, you 'straight-steel' fellas, please post on this thread (since ya can't use the poll above), how many you'd be likely to buy and what you'd like for it to say on it. |

I had a sticker a long time ago that read:
HUG A STEEL PLAYER, NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
I actually stuck it on front of my steel and believe
it or not, it worked a couple of times.

"My Other Car is a Steel Guitar"
"I Drive in a Car but I Ride on a Steel Guitar"
but in the spirit of the question, I don't do bumper stickers so I'm not a potential sale....sorry. |

An anonymous "drummer" at the blues jam Thursday nite says "I love country music, how long have been you been playing that dobro?"
My response, "about an hour or 2"
