Take it how ever you want to buddy i ain't no brag here just facts if you take it any other way then fact's well that would be your problem i am pretty sick and tired of people putting word's in my mouth its a simple dam test and that's it !!!!
I do not see any one else stepping up to the plate trying to do anything for steel guitar but bitch and complain because i am trying to do something and if you think just because i ain't played on any number one hits make's me less then a pro think again i have played on a lot of records and commercials back in the day so i think i know what i am talking about 100% if your not on my side i do not really care here is a fact # 1 people that don't like it there is 2 more that do like it.
I do not need to brag about myself my playing say's it all and i let people decide if they like me or not if they do like me great !
if they don't cool with me it is no sweat of my back so there for just contribute to the cause not bash the cause !!!!!!!!!!

This from the man who posted elsewhere on the internet that he is the second greatest steel guitarist who ever lived, right after Buddy Emmons, and ahead of Lloyd Green, Paul Franklin, Curly Chalker and all others.Rusty Rhoads wrote:I do not need to brag about myself,,,
But he doesn't need to brag, he just does it anyway...

Rusty, I like your gumption and your idea. Pro or con I think that most everyone here on the Forum will be interested in the results of your experiment.
Personally I think that if you take 20 different steels you will probably end up with four or five that will seem to have the best tone with you playing them. Take the same 20 steels and have Johnny Cox play them and you will probably come up with four or five completely different favorites. Same if Paul Franklin were to play all twenty.....four or five different favorites. I am a guitar player but I did play steel for only two years back in the sixties. I love steel and I picked it up pretty fast. After awhile, all the steel players were trying to figure out how come I had such great tone. They were playing the Sho-Buds and the Emmons's. I was playing through a Fender Twin. My steel? An old Fender 400. Sort of tells the story I think.....It's not the steel it's the man sitting behind it. I haven't played in over forty years so I can brag on myself a little.(G-or-Smile)
