The Steel Guitar Forum

I live in the San Antonio, Texas area. I'm curious about whether any of you all are taking steel guitar lessons in this area. If so, can you tell me who you are taking lessons from? I'm thinking of giving lessons because I think there are some new steelers that would like to get some pointers & ...

I'm curious...how many of you guys & gals are from the San Antonio area? I'm just now getting back into the business after not playing for close to 40 years (used to play with Moe Bandy). I've managed to get together with a fairly good little band, but they're a youger group of guys & we jus...

Man...I'm glad you guys started this thread. It's always great to see old friends like Jerry. It was the late 60's & I was seriously looking at getting Jerry to build me a double neck. Really liked a lot of the features he had on his guitars. The chrome look was really "in" back then &...

Tim.....that is a great looking steel....first quality......Bud just doesn't turn out anything less! I've had my black D10 9x7 with BCT technology for almost a year now & everytime I sit down to play it, the more I appreciate what's gone in to making this such a fine steel! Recently I've install...
