The Steel Guitar Forum

I've played this one. This is an excellent example of the Stage One (ZUM). It plays and sounds great! I'm hating to see Ed part with it... 'cause I know how much he loves it. Like most of us, we's way to critical of his own playing. Ed is a fantastic guitar picker and I think he gets frustrated that...

Will get new pictures tomorrow and post, along with copedant (even though pretty stock Emmons set-up).

Excellent condition - that killer Emmons tone - with Emmons vol. pedal - new case and matching Edgar pack-seat with back rest. Emmons set-up. Hate to let it go - but these are hard times. Butterfly
klusons. pics will follow. $3600 shipped and insured or best offer.

Yep, guilty on all counts. I remember your fine playing on that beautiful Blue Sho-Bud, too. Good to here from you. Hope you're doing well and still pickin'.

I am stunned and saddened. I had the joy of working Fresno and area clubs with both Jimmy and Gene in the sixties. They were both way better than me. I was never more honored than when Jimmy brought me to L.A. to join a band he was in (1968). I was both thrilled and terrified (We followed Wynn Stewa...

I first heard him in a live setting at the Big Fresno Barn around 1960-61 (with E.Tubb). My dad and I were posted at the PSG corner of the bandstand as we were most Saturday nights if there was a big star in town. Like most of you at first listen, I was stunned (I was a kid of 15 or 16), I didn't kn...

Is this Sho=Bud still available?

I'm sorry, I should have added that Bob White was best known as the longtime steel player for (and all-time favorite of) Hank Thompson and the Brazos Valley Boys. (Before such dignitaries as Bobby Garrett and Bert Rivera.) He was probably Hank's favorite because he had so much to do with "inven...

Oh my... I'm showing my age again! Bob White was a Texas pedal steel pioneer in the 50's/60's who has been generally credited with the foundational changes associated with the modern C6th tuning. In the typical 8-pedal D10 those changes are pedals 5-6 & 7. These pedals truly define and articulat...

So very true (LOL).

Ya gotta luv it!

These are sweet little session guitars. Worth every penny you're asking. This economy sucks!!! Wish I had the $1900... or you were as attracted to my GFI U14 as I am to your little Jackson (LOL). (In all honesty, Bobbe Seymour already owns my GFI if I don't sell it here... and he owns it way too che...

Hmmm... the alloy question I would have to ask Gene Fields to field (NPI)... But I would have to rate the cabinet drop as VERY slight... at worst... whether strung as 13 or 14 string. As you can see in my copedant I don't have any outrageous pedal pulls to exaggerate drop tendancies (such as three s...

Wow, really nice set-up. A bargain IMHO. Wish I could take on yet another... (sigh)

Actually it's not as strange as it might seem on paper, that is unless you are prone to strumming or or commonly drag the thumb across the bottom of the open B6th, which to me is not something I would have want to do. Moreover, I don't do a lot of open B6/C6 chordal playing WITHOUT pedal movement......

Pertinent reply to private message: Yeah, I think you're right about the GFI "boxy" styling. Also, I think there is a general lack of "cache". I think the image of "the working Man's steel" is sort of OK, but the key features, before tone and playability are even consid...

Pertinent quote from a private message:

"I think all the GFI guitars in general are hard to sell.. Alot of people just dont like the box look it has. They do sound very good. But to look at them they don't have much character."

TTT --- Not very much interest. I'll give it a few more days before closing the listing. Could it be that the Universal's are losing the level of popularity they once garnered at the hands of Reece and Jeff?

BTW, regarding the offer of FREE SHIPPING for lower 48. If picked-up here in Mountain View, Arkansas you may deduct $100 for combination of Steel with PacSeat or $75.00 if Steel only (just in time for our annual big event "BEANFEST"!)

Bump for price reduction (obviously needed vis a vis "zero interest")
