He's not kidding about it being for steel guitar only! I tried one of those thumb picks on a banjo once and almost ended up in the emergency room.
:eek:
Cal - That is the weirdest listing that I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

There's one born every minute - and this guy is trying to find him! :lol:
The steel guitar is a hard mistress. She will obsess you, bemuse and bewitch you. She will dash your hopes on what seems to be whim, only to tease you into renewing the relationship once more so she can do it to you all over again...and yet, if you somehow manage to touch her in that certain magic way, she will yield up a sound which has so much soul, raw emotion and heartfelt depth to it that she will pierce you to the very core of your being.

It looks like the seller plays a promat
2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

Looks more like a Franklin fretboard to me. Promat has a copy of an Emmons fretboard with the colored atom symbols.

OK, since you all are such nice guys I'll let these thumb picks go for the ridiculously low price of $99.95 apiece. They were used by a steel guitar player who's initials are CS, and may have been used to back up someone who sounded like Faron Young or Ray Price. But wait - order before midnight and get a FREE tuning wrench! Our phone girls are waiting to take your call at BR-549.

Beware of Cal's offer. He doesn't tell you he has an $847 minimum order.

:lol:

I would like to UN-dress her. :twisted: In my opinion, one of the most beautiful women in sports.
