Clark Steel Guitars

Nick Reed · From: Russellville, KY USA

I was watching Freddie Hart's video of "Easy Lovin" the other day. The Steel player was useing a black Clark D-10. Nice looking guitar, reminded me alot of a Sho-Bud. Does anyone remember the Clark Steels.

Sonny Curtis used to play a Clark.
I think he sold them in his store
that he had in Columbus back in
the 80's.

I had two Clarks way back in my early years of playing. I sold my last one around '91 when I bought my first Williams. I went from an 80 lb. guitar to a 40 LB guitar, my back sure appreciated that. LOL

They were built in Owasso, Oklahoma, by Jim Clark. They were really good sounding guitars, kind of a cross between a ZB and a Sho Bud. They were, like a ZB, very hard to change setups on, but once I had mine the way I wanted it, I didn't need to change it anyway. I bought my first pedal steel from Jim around 1971, a Fender 400. It wasn't but a few months until I wanted more than that guitar was capable of.

I heard a year or so back that Jim is building guitars again.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, a restored MSA Classic SS, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Also a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored Rose S10, named the "Blue Bird". Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also have a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks, and a showroom condition Sho-Bud Super Pro.
