Simmons Genesis - opinions, info & feedback?
Anyone had personal experience with these?
They look nice, especially for an entry level guitar.

Hi, Doc
Since I first posted this thread I've found & read some threads about Bob & his steels. Sounds like a quality guy with a quality guitar.
I pulled the trigger on one last night on eBay.
Looking forward to getting it.
I'm a green newbie, & this Genesis sounds like much more than just a starter steel!!

Bob Simmons
Just a little note.Bob built me a steel in 1976.
I played this steel for 30 years in clubs and including out door/ indoor venues.I never had any problems.I played N.Y. to Miami and this is one steel that stood the test of time.Thank You Bob. He has always stood behind his product.If you buy a steel or have a steel built or rebuilt by Mr. Simmons,you have one of the best.

Simmons PSG
I am a new student of PSG (less than a year). I bought a Simmons SD10 on the Forum. I can tell you that I love this guitar. It stays in tune forever, has great tone and is built very well and to last. Overall it is solid. I have a guitar that Mr. Simmons had constructed for himself at one time. It isn't a beginner or student guitar but it is smooth and easy to play. My two cents worth.
Mullen SD10 pre RP, Milkman 40w mini steel, Wet reverb mono, Profex II, Yamaha keyboard, lots of books about music theory and PSG.

From what Bob told me at the time, he only had enough mica to build two of the blue cloud looking guitars. Those would be mine and yours. Mine has his white logo and yours his black logo. I had some extras put on mine. I have the half stop on the RKR, 2d string and I have adjustable legs on it as well.
I think the secret ingredient is superglue. Seems like mine stays in tune so long there must be something holding it there. lol

Simmons steel
I bought a steel from Bob about 6 months ago. I'am pleased with the sound, it stays in tune very well. There is one thing that I'am not happy with. The head stock or where the tuners are is not straight. I did not notice this until I got home and have not had time or taken the time to talk to Bob about it.I think this is a really good guitar but you asked, and I told.
