The Steel Guitar Forum

And after 43 great years in Nashville, I've come home to South Carolina. I'm in DeBordeiu Colony, a beachfront community south of Pawley's Island. Great live music scene here in the Low Country before the pandemic, hoping to play a bit when things open up more. Till then guess I'll just play golf an...

One of the best nights of my life.... November 2005 I was on tour with the Everly Brothers, we were in Manchester, Graham Nash was there, hanging out back stage.... Pete Wingfield introduced us, he told me pedal steel was his favorite instrument.... I was so star struck! Then during the show, he cam...

Sold pending receipt of funds. If there is a change I’ll answer back in order of inquiries. Randy, you’re next in line.

Had a few questions about the pickups. They were custom wound for Buddy’s LeGrand, but he passed away before they were installed. Mike Cass bought all the spare parts and pickups from the estate, and I bought them from Mike. I know they’re authentic because I was with Mike the day he picked ever...

PM didn’t make it, try email. Here’s a picture of me with the guitar backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, getting ready to rehearse with Bill Anderson.

That was me, more like 20 years ago, back in my single days! The girl who was playing bass that night now owns that club.

Thanks for all the kind words! Kyle, whatever you do, don't play this guitar! Tommy, love your work on the new Jim Lauderdale album! Great playing and production.

Can throw Brand X split cases in the deal to lighten the load.

Hey Dennis, Probably was Jack Smith. Great player,took Sonny's place in Bill's band. Loved your brother Bill! Hired me for Eddie Rabbitt's band, gave me my first big break!

If it's not sold I'll take it.

That great guitar player is my brother, Mike Severs!

Hey Tony, That's what it looked like to me as well! Actually, I was reading a book,"Steel Players I've Met At The Country Club". As you can see, it's a very thin book!

Me on the far left, behind PeeWee. That was a great day, one of many we had in that shop. Wish I could grow that much hair now....

Almost left out Tom on Garden Party, and all the great things he did on the Buck Owens tv show that weren't on the records.

Buddy on Someday Soon by Judy Collins, Ben Keith on Heart Of Gold by Neil Young, Pete Drake on Apartment Number Nine and a thousand others, Lloyd Green on Remember When by Alan Jackson and a thousand others... John on Standing Room Only by Barbara Mandrell and all the Conway records....

Tommy is amazing..... Not just as a steel player, but as a musician.... Music runs so deep in his soul, and he has the gift to bring it to the instrument. The most soulful player I know.

Wow! I bought that guitar new at Johnson Music in Columbia, SC in 72. That's the steel I moved to Nashville with in 76, traded it to ShoBud for a new guitar in 78. Always wondered where it went. Glad to know it's in good hands!

Hey Johnny!
Is that really my old guitar? That is beautiful! Billy really is the man!

I have a Fender Custom Shop 1960 Tele Custom Relic, double bound,
Case and all case candy....
