Got one for a student and was very impressed. You can go a long way with one of these before you need to upgrade.

ZumSteel Stage Ones

Post by Roger Dillingham »

I'm sure most of you know Doug, but in case there is someone who hasn't had any dealings with him & maybe looking at a more economical way of getting started on pedal steel....I would definitely recommend him and his guitars. I have been nothing but impressed with the quality and tone of my Stage One, for the price! Did I mention I love it? I'm sure some day I will want to move up to a more professional model, but at this point I can see no reason to do so. In fact, my thinking is that if I decide to purchase a "pro model" later; I will more than likely keep the Stage One! It's a great grab'n-go guitar that has a BIG sound in a small package. That sucker sounds great through a Goodrich Matchbox & a Peavey NV112 or Session! JMHO, "keep steelin'"!! :) :)

I highly recommend the Stage One, as a aspiring beginner I have had a great time learning on this PSG.

I can vouch for Doug being a great guy and one of our favorite members at The Ozark Steel Guitar Association in Branson. I have heard the Stage One played by several and it is a solid and simple unit that looks and sounds great.

Hey Doug,
Couldn't help but notice that you have an extra knee lever (LKV) on your steel; it that something that you make available as an add-on to customers who have already purchased? I would be interested if that addition is something that could be installed by a novice out in the field; or possibly to send it back to you for installation if cost is not prohibitive? Thanks, Roger. :D :D

Roger, the vertical knee lever was an experiment and is not an option at this time. I sent some more detail in your PM.

I received my red Stage One today and it is, without any doubt, awesome. The underside is clean and thoughtfully designed, with no pedal clatter like I got with my old Sho-Bud. The finish is beautiful, the tone full and clean even when played through my Line6 Spyder amp. I can make it growl or peal like a church bell. It may be an "economy" steel, but there is no skimping on quality. Pedal and knee lever action is solid and true.

Ladies and gents, if you're trolling the classifieds looking for a reasonably priced steel that will deliver the goods, this is it. I have no regrets and look forward to many years of pleasure with this great guitar.

something tells me that Tyler Hall and a snow shovel should never be used in the same sentence! :lol:

Sorry bro! I couldn't resist.

But back to the topic...I've only heard good things about the Stage One and what a nice guy Doug is. I know Mike Douchette was loving his the last time I talked to him.
