Andrew, thanks for the warning. I appreciate you bringing that up to me. I will tread carefully.

I am a new player who has been researching lessons as well. For $5/month on Patreon you can get a ton of lessons and tabs from Johnny Up at https://www.patreon.com/pedalsteel/posts. I listen to a ton of newer "alt-country" acts (or whatever you want to call the newer neo-traditionalists) a...

Sent a DM. Thanks.

I would be interested as well. Would love to see some pics and would be curious if you are willing to ship. Thanks.

Hello, are you willing to ship? Thanks.

Thanks all for the replies. Nicholas, no need to feel guilty. First one to put the cash on the table is the first one to have a right to it. I knew I ran the risk of losing it by delaying an offer for so long.

Hopefully it lands in a happy home. Cheers.

Thank you to everyone for your thoughtful responses. Lots for me to think about. Looking forward to finding the right fit. More to come, thanks!

Ron, sent a DM. Thanks!

Hello all, I recently posted about some LDG's for sale. Didn't land either, so I am still in the market. I would like some recommendations on good pedal steel guitars to consider. I tend to buy quality over quantity and am hoping this is a healthy budget or an instrument that will keep me occupied f...

Thanks again, everyone. The seller stopped responding a few days ago then took the listing down. Maybe he found a buyer...unsure. Asking price was $4500 which was more than I was willing to pay. Sadly, I will never know the sale price! I learned a lot from this. I will probably post another topic ab...

Thanks everybody for the detailed and thoughtful replies. I asked for a photo of the underside early yesterday and am waiting to get it back. The ‘82 sold so that is out but sounds like I would have gone with the ‘74 anyways. Will post photo of underside today I hope. Also, description of the pedals...

Hello, I am new and thanks for having me. Need some help on my first pedal steel. There are two Sho-Bud LDG's I am looking at, one is from 1974 and one is from 1982. Both are in great shape. The 1974 has 4 foot pedals and the '82 has 3. The '74 appears to have some sort of toggle on the right side o...
