Tonight my wife and I were watching the televised program of Willie Nelson's 90th Birthday program filmed in 2023, with a whole host of famous singers and musicians. My two questions are who was the Steel Guitarist playing in the backup band? And what type of Steel Guitar was he playing?

My little eyes spy: Greg Leisz, Infinity Steel is my guess. His music dominated, but no closeups, just head shots from above.

I've seen him play a black s12 extended E9th Infinity, a couple Williams s12 and a black Emmons s10.

Hard to see for sure, but black guitar with an oval decal...I thought Infinity also even though I know he does play Williams.
