| I have a opportunity to buy a Nashville LTD pedal steel. I am not fimiliar with this make of pedal steel. Can anyone give me some insight, into the pedal action and tuning? It is a single neck with 3 & 4. Has a wood neck with a formica body. Any input would greatly be appreciated. Thanks |

The late Ed Naylor had the rights to this name last. (I would be surprised if he actually made one, but that is another story.) I don't remember how long he was the owner of the Nashville LTD company.
I have seen photos of a "Doug Jernigan" model, before, and it looked very nice from top and bottom. Everything was polished up to a high gloss.
I'm sure those with personal experience will reply here, soon, but I suspect that whether or not they were any good will depend on what era they were produced in.

| I bought five of the Nashville Ltd' guitars when they were on the market as a new guitar. Three S-10D's and two D-10's. One of the S-10D was a pretty good guitar and one of the D-10's a Doug Jernigan model was a nice guitar. The other three were bad. Wouldn't stay in tune and one of them even had a part on it that actually came off the guitar when I was playing one night. The DJ model is the only one I would even consider. Not being negative here, just speaking from my days with the NV-Ltds'. If I remember right the changers on each one of guitars except the DJ model was a problem also. Then again you may buy one tomorrow and it be the best guitar you've ever had. I've seen lemons throughout the years but seems like I bought a bag full with the NV-Ltds'. |

It's definitely a "buyer beware" situation. Ed Naylor claimed that there were "fakes" bearing the name "Nashville LTD". I'm not saying if that's true or not, but there's no doubt that some of them are lemons.

| I had one that Ed Naylor built. I didn't have it long, it was the biggest piece of junk I've ever sat behind. |
