How many players are using a pedalmaster steel? They look very good on their web-site.

Hi Curt. I have been playing Pedalmaster guitars for a long time. Also Richard Comeaoux, Jr. Martin, PeeWee Whitewing and most all the cajun players play Pedalmasters. Roy has just come out with a new design he calls the "LowRider. I love mine. I've had this one about 4 months and it fine,fine, fine!!!!!, Get one. You will love it. Best regards, Jody.

Hey Bob, was your Gospel CD done on a U-12? I had assumed it was C6th...

I`ve been out to see the shop where Roy builds the pedalmaster, and they are FANTASTIC !! Great tone and sustain, excellent mechanics etc. Roy is a really great guy to deal with. I highly recommend his Pedalmaster.

Hey Bob, My new CD was done on 1995 Pedalmaster that was PeeWee's. It is a 12 string and is tuned to a basic A-6, but I messed with pedals etc. I guess it goes back to the 50's when I tried to get the chords I heard. I was using a Multicord then. I could tweek the changer easily and get some big chords. You oldies remember the broken cables and wide string spacing. But no one would tell us a copedant. Anyway, one of my C6 type changes on the Pedalmaster puts pedal 6 on LKR lever..strange huh!
If anyone wants a taste of A6 stuff, try www.bobstrum.com
Thanks for interest, Bob
