I just thought I'd share this latest project with everyone. This guitar belongs to a young man by the name of Chris Gabriel, here in Portland, Oregon. He is a very accomplished musician and you should hear him play lap steel!! I can't wait to hear him play this MSA. I'm hoping he'll bring it to our steel jam next month.
You don't come across very many left handed pedal steels, especially an S-10 with 10 pedals and 5 knee levers! Chris came up with his own Bb6th copedent that he wanted me to install, along with rebuilding the changer, on his very nice MSA from the 70's. To say this was a little challenging for me would be an understatement! It was a little hard for me just to wrap my head around a left handed steel! Rodding that many changes on one neck made it pretty challenging, especially with a double raise double lower changer.
Jim Palenscar and Michael Yahl were a big help in supplying the parts that we needed.
