The Steel Guitar Forum

Those are a few of the toys I've built/modified to suit my taste. Hope you enjoy! All of the bikes pictured here were in stock cruiser form when I started with them. Here's a before/after of the V-Star 650 to give you an idea of what I do to them. ;-) http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/11122...

Sorry guys, the pedal went right down the street to Mr. Henry Mathews and I got myself a nice Goodrich L-120. Close please!!!

I have an Emmons single pin VP in good working order for sale or trade for another good VP. Make an offer! Thanks!

Wow.... This won't last long.

I can't figure out how to get a video clip on here?

I will do my best to get a little video on here this evening after work.

Why are the Sho-Bud Permanents and Fingertips not selling for $15,000.00??? Same goes for the pre-1970 Emmons and others that are in good clean working order. Vintage Martin guitars of the same year are fetching $10k on any given Sunday... They say it's because of the desirability of a Brazilian ros...

$13,000.00 I think??? The $2,850.00 was just a fee for the opportunity to play it for 20 minutes.

He's asking the same dollar amount for it that I was.

I'm gonna quit pickin and go to bed now. Lol

Yes sir, I believe that I have the ultimate vintage Sho-Bud D-10 Pedal Steel now. Exactly what I wanted!!! Makes me really love trading. When it comes down to it, I traded up to this via the Emmons LGII from a Gibson mandolin that I didn't like... Wound up with it in a trade somehow or another too.....

I received my Fingertip this morning. It sounds like a million bucks, plays very smooth and stays in tune nicely!

From the man himself! Thanks, Jack. We've been scratching a hole in our head trying to figure that out.

I am the previous owner of this guitar and I can back up anything Damir says about this one. It's rock solid and gig-ready!!! TTT

I can relate to the bike thing, too. Ive had everything from a '74 ironhead chopper to metric cafe racers that I have built myself. I dig the old stuff that needs a little maintenance to keep going smooth. I also deer hunt with a traditional recurve bow, grow my own tobacco, and stuff like that. So ...

I approached Damir with this trade offer. It was my idea, and I knew the difference in prices when I made the agreement. Damir even asked me if I knew the ins-and-outs of vintage steels, as this one likely wouldn't play as smooth or hold tune for hours of playing on end like my Emmons. I wouldn't ex...

I hope he gets $10k for it.

People with a natural ear for pitch don't have so much trouble keeping their guitars in tune. We don't have to have a fancy electronic strobe tuner and a hundred gadgets to cut our gig. We play music, not "let's collect expensive steel accessories." That's why Lloyd Green's playing sounded...

That's awesome! Just the kind of info I was looking for. Thank you!

And for the record, Damir Besic is an absolute pleasure to do business with! Great guy!

Wow!!! I didn't realize this post had blown up so much. Donny Hinson nailed it. I'm very happy with this trade. How many fingertips were made? Only about 100. How many modern Emmons D-10's are there? People are selling and trading them literally every day. Erv, I understand that the modern technolog...

Just found myself wondering how many folks out there have left traded their modern Emmons or equivalent for an early ShoBud, ZB, or that kinda thing. I'm making this move right now and I'm extatic about the arrival of Mr. Damir's beautiful Fingertip Sho-Bud. I'm going to play my last gig on the Emmo...

Yes sir, I'm making a trade with Mr. Damir Besic. Admin please close. Thank you!!!
