Williams 700 12 extended E-9 SOLD

Bought this used in 2019 off a forum member. It was originally a U-12 that I had converted to extended e-9 by Jim Palenscar. I used one of the pedals from that to add a 4th to my other Williams 12. Otherwise have most of the parts he took off that I can include. The unique thing about this steel is ...

I just changed out an Alumitone with an X-12 on my Williams e9 extended. Sounds much better--clearer, richer, more full. Difference was night and day to me. Dave Beatty called shortly after the install to make sure it was dialed in properly for the guitar and then made sure my TCA 500C amp was set u...

And I think it's a similar thing with other players being influenced by Greg Liesz (being maybe the most-recorded session player in the non-country genres). Pretty much this. I was introduced to Greg and pedal steel at a recording session I was invited to about 5 years ago. The producer was doing a...

Last year I had an S-12 built by Williams and they don't come with pads. I was concerned that I would need one only ever playing SD-10s. I planned to make something that would serve. However, I quickly found that I didn't need one and if I ever went back to 10 strings, I would go with a single body....

Sarno Earth Drive $150 including shipping

I have a near new Earth Drive. I bought it from someone on the forum about a year ago. It has a small scratch on one side that you can see in a photo. I tried it and liked it okay, but I prefer a couple other OD pedals I have. I never put any Velcro tape on it so it's got a clean bottom. I want $150...
