Not quite accurate.

The description of Paul's steel:

Paul Franklin used a Franklin double-neck pedal steel on Bakersfield. His father made the instrument out of formica

Haha, you can almost see the poor interviewer's eyes glaze over when Paul starts explaining the tuning. To the uninitiated: Clear as mud.

David, thanks for the link - can't watch it all right now because I have to be somewhere, but took in about 10 minutes - majorly cool stuff! Cool

It was great to see Paul demonstrate how the guitar is tuned and how it works. He had to do a little thinking on the string guages but who wouldn't? The public can get a glimpse of how a steel works and from a top pro like Paul Franklin. And his guitar sounded great as well.

Awesome interview, and very informative. Learned something about Little Walter Amps I didn't know, and lots about telecasters...I'll be backing off my treble control now. Thanks for sharing.

Fascinating history, and his humility is refreshing.
