How many pedal steel guitars do you own?
Let's limit this discussion to instruments that are fully set-up and playable, or ones that are stashed in their cases that are strung-up and playable when set-up.
Don't count basket cases or instruments that are basically buckets and/or boxes full of parts. |

I own two steel guitars, a SD10 Emmons LLG II and a SD10 Rittenberry. Both are wonderful guitars and are both set up and played every day.

| 2. One D10 Emmons Legrande 2 that I don’t take out anymore unless lots of $, and the main one I do take out, an Emmons GS10 3x3 that I don’t bread down, just grab and go. Do most of my gigs on non pedal 10 string lap steel. If I was retired from day job I could do more pedal gigs. I would never own more that 2 pedal steels, no room. Just keep big D10 for special occasion, or if S10 goes to the shop. |

I'm down to six ready to play, two in various stages of restoration, and one American Steel by Bobby Bowman that is about 50% complete. I'm gonna finish it someday in honor of Bobby.

two, 81 Walnut Mica 8+4 P Pull and a 95 / 8+6 Black Legrande II. They get rotated for regular bi- monthly gig duty, both are workhorse guitars.
I would pull the trigger on an early issue Legrande 8+6 (or more) if one pops up for a reasonable cost. Black or brown. But, the problem would be, one of the 3 would probably live in the case. Not sure if I like that.I like them set-up.

‘59 Sho~Bud Permanent D10 7+3
GFI keyless S12 6+6
GFI keyless S10 4+5
Derby SD10 4+5 no picture handy of that.
New EXCEL S11 4+5
Jackson Maverick HD 3+4 on order. It comes with a very usable standard copedant, no custom jobs. I think adding some pulls will be possible later.

Just my beloved LeGrande D-10 and the Zum Encore in case of a 'fly-date'.
The likelihood of a fly-date is diminishing these days as I'm only really up for sit-down shows where I can be set up for a few weeks. I'm not sure that I could command enough dollars to go through the stress of flying anywhere with a musical instrument in this day and age but I guess I'll hold on to the Encore, at least for now.
There's always the fear of a mechanical failure on my #1 guitar that would be beyond my extremely limited DIY capabilities and the Zum is a worthy second choice.

I still have only 3 steel guitars.
My "Blue Darling" Rus~Ler SD-10 that I played six nights a week for 19 years.
My little red Rains SD-10, I played for aprox. 5 years.
And my little JJ SD-10, it was the first Justice guitar I built in late 2008 and I'm still playing it today.

I'm in the 5-10 category, which is actually embarrassing considering I don't play that much anymore. For the first 30 years, when I was playing very regularly (sometimes 5-7 gigs a week) I never had more than one.  |

Three.
Sho-bud Pro-1. Sort of retired, I pull it out every so often. Nothing broken yet, but getting a bit worn and rickety. Smallest and lightest guitar I have
Anapeg 1978. Set up at home. Never goes out except for big, safe stages. No grimy pub gigs for this one
Williams 700. My current gigging guitar[/u]
