pedal steel case that doubles as a seat?

Anthony Parish · From: Austin

I'm still new to the pedal steel world but I was wondering... Does anyone make a pedal steel guitar case that doubles as a seat?

All it would take is 4 adjustable legs carried inside the case, screwed into threaded holes, and voila! Sit on your case when playing your guitar!

Does such a thing exist? I haven't found one yet using the google machine...

I haven't seen one, but it'd probably wind up being heavier than a normal case. One thing steelers really don't need is more weight to hump around. Whoa!

The cases are also pretty big, larger than a piano bench, and that could be an issue on many cramped stages. Frequently when I was starting out, I had to sit on my amp, due to a lack of room for a chair or seat on a stage.

I've never seen or heard of one. Since the steel is heavy enough, I believe it would have to be heavier made for that purpose. Maybe someone has tried this and will chime in.

If you look closely, Speedy is sitting on his Bigsby case. So there's that.

Sneaky used to sit on his steel case when he played.

i saw larry sasser with ray stevens. as he was setting up he looked around the stage then got his case and used it for a seat for the show. no pad or boost of any kind. ouch!

to your question, if you had a split case with legs and pedals in it that doubled as a seat it might be workable.

I've seen videos of Lee Jeffriess, with the West Coast Ramblers, using his case for a seat.

Check out this old thread -- scroll down to see the picture of John David Call sitting on his case. He has some fold-up aluminum pieces that serve as legs.
