starter, student, entry level steel...

hey everyone,

I'm looking for my first pedal steel setup.
I thought about the carter starter but I like the idea of buying something used with a little character.
If anyone out there has a great beginner setup or any ideas, get in touch.

This is my first post on the forum, hope to have many more...thanks everyone!!!

remember if you have that old first steel laying around and don't know what to do with it, let me know.

Keep watching for sale for a Stage One
or if you like the vintage stuff a S10 p/p Emmons or the Sho-Bud Pro 1 is often more affordable .

Matt, welcome to the Forum, it is full of useful information, and you will meet a bunch of very great people. Probably people in your own area, that you don't even know about. Good luck in your search. From the Great State of Missouri, Larry Baker

You won't be sorry and Doug is a great guy to deal with.

I'm with Scott. Having owned a few Cougar guitars This king model is an excellent buy with all the stuff that goes with it. The Stage one is also an excellent choice. Doug is a great guy to deal with.
