I just don't know what's happened to this place - where's that old 'esprit de corps', that erstwhile sense of 'hands across the ocean' that once prevailed?
Oh, well....
The Show-Pro is spectacular, too, Jon. I saw Larry Bell's new 12-string last week at his house; they're wonderful guitars and, yes, I suppose I'd like one of those, too!

Dear Barry. I'm a new forum member and I'm looking at my fist PSG. I'm a musician since years and I would like to approach PSG with MID pro level. As you can by my posts on Pedal steel Index I'm asking and receiveng some offers. Now I was offered a Williams SD10 600 Wood neck. Could you be so kind to send me yr feed back about William quality and Service ? Which is the main difference between ALU or Wood meck? Sorry to ask this easy question but I need to understand in order to choose the right PSG. Tanks in advance. Daniele

Daniele,
Williams quality is absolutely superb. As for service, I haven't needed any, but Bill Rudolph always answers the phone and his emails right away, and I'm positive that the service would be as good as the manufacturing.
As for wood neck vs aluminum neck, I'm not sure. Bill Rudolph told me the wood neck might get a little more "growl." I wanted an all-wood psg on principle, and I am delighted with the sound. It definitely "growls" when I want it to. But as for the advantages of an aluminum neck, I don't know. It probably weighs about the same? Maybe an aluminum neck is less susceptible to temperature and humidity changes? But the wood sure sounds good! Probably someone else should chime in here and tell you more...

I give music lessons on several different instruments in Cambridge, NY (between Bennington, VT and Albany, NY). But my true love is pedal steel. I've been obsessed with steel since 1972; don't know anything I'd rather talk about... www.barryhyman.com
