Hello-
I have been lurking here for the last 9 months. That is when I decided I wanted to learn pedal steel. I am 66 and have been playing music all my life. My instruments are sax, guitar and keys. I have played with some fine pedal steel players through the years and decided to give it a try.
You all pointed me in the right direction to purchase my first steel. I bought a Stage One from Doug Earnest. Like you all said, he is great to deal with. We are lucky to have someone as skilled as he is bringing a quality economy guitar to market. Everyone knows he could sell his guitars for more, and used ones do go for more! It's a stand-up guy that keeps his pricing down in those circumstances.
Thank you all for sharing your knowledge, I have learned a lot and am ready to actually start...bought the Paul Franklin 'Foundation' series. Here are a couple shots of my Stage One with the textured metal. Sweet!
-Alex

Hey Alex,
Now that's a nice steel!
You're in safe hands on this forum. You can ask any seemingly silly question and get all manner of sensitivity, support and advice.
Good luck on your musical journey!

| That textured finish is really cool. I’m sure you’ll be as happy with your Stage One as the rest of us are with ours.ðŸ‘👠|
