Lee - I have nothing but good things to say about Sierra steels. I have a single and a double; the're fine, however, I have not tried the others so I'm not trying to be prejudiced about or against anyone's workmanship or instruments. By the way, I did not see you on TV the other night with Big Sandy Band; they had another steel man---just wondered what you're up to these days---Best, Hugh

What happened to this one? There was a post about it awhile back and I saved the link. http://pacinfo.com/~sholst/steelguitar.htm

Thanks
Cartwright
Thats the stuff im talking about.
Is it me or is the almag frame on that, on
back to front.
I once saw a S10 that had the same looking
changer,pickup and neck, but the finish was formica and the frame pivoted like the table on a disc sander.
It was very cool and i was very broke.

Looks like that guitar has at some point been "left handed". I mean, how often you have the aprons like that, logo facing the player, not the audience. In any case, cool guitar.

Jussi, I think your right. If you look at the the picture that shows the undeneath you can see the old holes on the other side where the rods were before.
Looks like it was a lefty with four pedals.[This message was edited by Alvin Blaine on 03 October 2002 at 11:34 PM.]

From one married man to another there,aint no harm in looking.
Im just wondering if anyone had one back in
the day,also what they thought the ups and downs of the guitar where.
But im thinking they maybe few and far between.
Also i realy dig Chuck Wright design ideas.
