The Steel Guitar Forum

It looks like the show this September is going to be a great one. The lineup is exceptionally strong. And some other exciting things are going to be happening as well. Come join in the fun and enjoy some great steel guitar music on a Sunday afternoon

It is with great hesitation I offer my 2016 Infinity for sale. This is a very rare instrument and fully loaded to satisfy any level of player. The guitar was built by premier craftsman Frank Carter. The setup is basically an "enhanced" Emmons with the E's on the left knee with some other a...

Donna and I are really looking forward to this show this week. It is always fun, well-organized, friendly, and features some of the finest steel players around. I am especially excited to get to play with my bud Tim Atwood, and also a set with Jeannie Seely on Saturday. Do yourself a favor and come ...

If I played piano, I'd want to play like Roy Rosetta. If you've ever heard him, you know why!

When I first took a job playing weekly at the Atlanta airport, I thought I would get bored with it quickly. But it has been nothing but interesting and kinda cool.The crowds move by fairly quickly, but some folks stop and talk about steel guitar. As a matter fact, in the last several weeks I’ve h...

I certainly agree with all of the above statements about Warren's personality, kindness, sense of humor, etc. He was the kind of friend that you might not see for years, but when you did see him, he would make it feel like you saw him just last week. He made everyone feel "special" that wa...

Well, I too am a happy camper using the X10. I've had it on my Infinity D10 for almost 5 months. Before that, I had the 409 on my guitar and was very satisfied with it too. But the X10 gives me more control over individual string intensity and tone. With that I can counter my right hand deficiencies...

I too want to give my thanks to ALL the great staff at the Southern Illinois Steel Guitar Show. Dave, Dow, and Cord have some great people helping them organize and run one of the finest steel guitar shows any where in the country. It was my privilege and pleasure to be a small part of the show. My ...

Dennis,
I have 2 of the Nashville 1000's and have worked 'em hard for close to 20 years. They sound great, are fairly lightweight, plenty of power, and they're super dependable. It looks like your amp would be a great deal for someone.

When I first moved to Atlanta in the late 70's I went around to all the studios looking for session work. (I had several years of studio experience by that time.) And, everyone told me, IF they ever needed a steel guitar part, they would call Charlie (or Porky as some people called him). It wasn't t...

I too am really looking forward to this show. It has become one of my favorites. The folks with the Southern Illinois Productions have really learned what it takes to organize, and run, a great venue for steel guitar. The crowd loves it, the players love it, and the SIP donates a substantial amount ...

I too was playing an Infinity guitar (happily). We had a great time in Dallas. If you weren't there, you missed a truly great show. Credits to Albert Talley and the rest of the TSGA crew for producing a very memorable weekend. Thank you!

I want to thank all of you that showed interest in this guitar and contacted me through pm or email. A buyer came forth and offered a price that I feel is a good deal for me and for him. So, I won't have the guitar for sale in Dallas as planned. Sorry.

Barbara, I will have a new CD and a new Tee shirt design in Dallas.
I will donate one of each for the Benevolent fund for the auction, door prize, etc. It is a very worthy cause that I wish everyone would get behind it.

To be offered for sale at the TSGA in Dallas is this very rare Zumsteel D10 with 8&8. The guitar was born in 2000 and has been babied its' whole life. The setup is mostly Emmons but has pedal 0 as the Franklin changes, and the E's to Eb on the RKR. Guitar is overall in great condition as is the ...

If you put Dixie's hat and scarf on you still wouldn't be as cute. Merry Christmas my friend.

I've been doing some end of the year cleaning and discovered 2 Peavey speaker baskets I had forgotten about. I guess I bought them for backup and never used them. 1501-4 4ohm $95 (plus shipping) 1502-8 8ohm $85 (plus shipping) I also have an original magnet structure for a 15" speaker $15 (plus...

I have recently accepted a solo gig. I'll be playing 2 - 3 times per week and each gig is for 3 hours per shift. I have plenty of tracks to play with for most of the year but I have been "requested" to include at least 40% of my gig time playing Christmas music between Thanksgiving and Chr...

Jack, that green D10 on the far right of this ad is the last new Emmons I had before switching to Zum guitars. I sold that guitar to Steve "Alonzo" Walker somewhere around 1976 and he is still playing it today. I think that guitar has held up pretty well considering 40+ years of traveling ...

Sorry for getting this posted so late but I hope it's not tooooo late. I will be in Ocala, Fla. this weekend doing a brand new play called " Country Sunshine: The Legendary Ladies of Country Music" . It features a really fine gal singer from Atlanta by the name of Katie Deal. I've been wor...

Cases are sold.

Priced reduced to $170 including shipping (CONUS)

I've had a few calls about the sturdiness of these cases because of their light weight. There are several "road" steel players that use this type of case. Some even trust this case for "fly dates" on the major carriers. And, I've not heard of any damage to the cases or their guit...

At some point in time I had a single-neck Jackson Blackjack guitar. And then, somebody decided he wanted it really bad. So, sadly, I sold it but the buyer wanted the original wooden case that came with the guitar. I had forgotten I still had these great little, light-weight cases. Today these are kn...
