Hi - It is in France at the moment. The current exchange rate for 1600 Euros is 1,959.95 US Dollars. I'd consider bringing it back with me next time I visit, but I'd ask you to pay for the overweight airport fee. If you live close enough to the Bay Area in California that'd be a help too! Thanks for...

Haven't been to France for a few years now but will be back soon, so I am renewing my interest in selling this guitar, which I keep in a closet in Annecy France, near Geneva.

https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/944_alkires_1.jpg I like both of these guitars for different reasons and can't decide which to keep, so I'll let the buyer decide for me. The mother-of-toilet-seat model is very pretty, sets up tripod-style and sounds like the blond one in the treble rang...

Bumping it up.

:( Really sorry to hear about this. Johnny Cuviello and I met and played a little gig with Steve on one of our trips to Austin. He wrote some nice things about Johnny and me here on the forum. It was fun to hang out with somebody so crazy in love with our music and I looked forward to seeing him nex...

Yep, you are correct. I was simply using the term "Cowboy Jazz" as a genre description. Just for fun I googled "Cowboy Jazz" and got 42,000 hits, so I have some company. Actually the band was called just Lone Star for many years (since around 1978) and we didn't care when another...
