| This is a live version of a fun song I wrote for my Brother Shaw's Texas Swing Revival record where I get to play the A6 and E13 necks of the steel guitar in the true Texas tradition! (With a little Muddy Waters thrown in.) With the awesome Georgia Parker and Greg Harkins(who tears it up). I hope y'all enjoy it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJUrQ3XiFOE |

| Oh those dirty blues! I think the 4 neck thing is sweet, I don't know how you do it. It actually it looks pretty manageable compared to a pedal steel. |

| Thanks for the kind words, y'all! Yeah, the quad is kind of a pain to lug around, but most gigs I do end up using all four of the necks. And it's WAY lighter than my Fender 2000. The worst thing about four necks is having 32 strings to tune. I would love to just have a single 8, though! |

It finally hit me why Leo named it a “2000”. Because it weighs a ton!

Really nice!
What volume/tone pedal are you using? Fender? Original or reissue? |

| Haha David, that's up for interpretation! Jim, it's an old Fender v/t. I tried the newer version, but it wasn't very smooth. |
