I have the "Twin" of this guitar and it is one of the lightest, most reliable "gigging" steels I've owned. Good luck!👍

Hi Billy, I bought your red ETS a few years ago. Still play it every day.
Please send price & pictures asap. I am very interested.

Burnell, It is good to see you are still playing the pedal steel. I hope you are well. It is because of you that I began playing and still teach and play the pedal steel for 42 years. You sat in with us in the Ray Duerr Band in the 70's and you showed me so much about the steel in your barber shop i...

Requiring what is now 21 extra comments?
Goodnight!

Has this Great Steel for sale post been hijacked? There are other places to discuss your guitars.
I believe this wonderful guitar is up for sale, not just up for discussion.
Thanks,
Ray Eicher

Say it ain't so Paul?? You love this guitar!
I know this man. I know this guitar. They are BOTH Wonderful!

I've been informed by the owner of Bob Campbells Music that this steel has been sold today on eBay 6/29/16. Another classic steel is arriving in a week or so. Stay tuned or call his store... 717-741-2634.
Thankyou !

I am just a teacher at Campbell's Music Service
717-741-2634 Tuesday thru Saturday's.
You'll want to call Bob.

Bob Campbell is alive & well. His son Bobby has run the store for the last 20 or more years. I have taught Steel, Dobro, Guitar& Bass, Uke and Mandolin there since 1975.
Bobby still has great deals & vintage instruments all of the time. I bought a Sierra D-12
There in the 70's.

The store owner had a local steel mechanic search for the
Actual copedant. It is Maurice Anderson's copedant
From Winnie Winston's book.
Bb6 if I am correct. What a beautiful, stunning guitar.
Call store owner 717-741-2634.

I know a very little bit about this guitar, but it is available at the music store where I teach. One owner, not a single bar ding in the finish, a few light scratches on the pedal bar & legs. The case is in near perfect condition as well. You can write me for general questions but I am not sell...

Boy, this sure looks a lot like my ETS Steel Guitars! Especially the legs & body. Any connection? Great guitars...

Ken,
Please check your email and PM in regards to your steel.
Thanks
Ps.
I am not a reseller.

Tommy, It's Funny that you should mention sending your guitar down to Bud Carter. I sent BOTH of my ETS steels down to Mabank Texas where, for a very fair price, Bud completely went over each one. Both steels had slight mods from previous owners and the black one's rods were too short and would pop ...

Your ETS looks to be in "mint" condition and very fairly priced! I have 2 ETS steels and they have been reliable in the studio and in the clubs. I have a black one with the same fretboard and changer as your's. I also have a later model Red with a Carter fretboard and changer. Whoever buys...

PM sent to you 5:07am 1/7/16.

Would you please email me your price

Problem solved. Thanks to Howard! Marco is a nice guy too!
He may even take a few lessons with me.

Bob, I totally understand your feelings and comments about your recent acquisition of an ETS guitar. The purpose of the ETS however was to make a good looking, decent light weight steel that was accurate, reliable and functional enough for most any situation. i really believe that goal was achieved ...

I play both a red and a black ETS 3x5. The black one has a slightly different changer mechanism. The springs are all on an angle. All of the moving parts are attached with a "star" wrench device then filled over so that they are not adjustable. The black one is not as glossy either. Bud to...

Jeff, I am a tiny bit north of Baltimore in Hunt Valley, Md. On I83 north.
I can teach on the 8-string or 10.

Here are two posts I made in 2013 and 2014 regarding the friend that I never met in person, Bud Carter and ETS Steels. Early in the summer I purchased a beautiful ETS steel from a Forum member. I discovered more than a few modifications and botched "improvements" that I was not made aware ...

This is, without a doubt, the finest pedal steel guitar I have ever played. Flawless!
All of this, and from a good honest Forum member. If you have the $$ you won't regret it.
