Yup, me too (Chordboards in my case, and a few weeks ago rather than months).

I can see John Paul Jones steel is a doubleneck with Hipshot Trilogy bridges - anyone know more? Scale, tuning etc. (BTW, I kinda missed the other guys in there :lol: ) I know his electric instruments are made by Hugh Manson in England (his brother Andy Manson does any acoustic stuff, like the trip...

Christopher: I think the heart of this thread was styles of music aside from country that have steel in it. We may have drifted from that but the Zepplin counts. I rarely listen to III so I kinda forgot there was steel on there. Yeah, I guess that's true (and I did lose sight of that original premi...

Yeah, his vocals are an ongoing concern whenever I think about recommending some of his solo stuff (especially his early albums, before he wised up a bit :lol: ). Which is a shame, since there's some fantastic guitar work all over the place. It took a long time, but I can handle his singing now on h...

First post for me (I was planning an introduction post, but was at a loss, not being a player yet). While I've always loved the sound of the PSG, I've never been a fan of country music (mainly because of the vocals). Although he's likely not on anyone's radar here (mainly because he just dabbles, fo...
