Hi David, so, did this fellow build this guitar himself? Sounds like he's really interested in learnin to play pedal steel if he's willin to put in all the work and time to build his own guitar.  |

| Yes, He has built it. It must have some pre-amp in the front of the guitar near the tuning pegs as the mains lead goes in there....I hope thats not 240volts.. |

I'm not sure I see that. I would guess that it powers the programmable servo mechanism that reads pedal position to tune the strings. |

| Yeh powers the tuner, the pitch correcter, and the bad lick filter. |

David, I only wish I was as thin as the guy in the picture.
Hey, is there any chance you can come to L.A. for our annual steel jam next year?
