This is a real clean guitar with precision machine work through out. It is a triple raise/double lower, Emmons floor and knee lever setup with new strings. The man originally bought it new at the Dallas Show. I was told he never played this steel out, he was a beginner player. $1800.00 plus shipping in Cont. US

I had that guitar for about 3 years very nice and very heavy. Stays in tune well and lots of sustain. Missing the original star on fret board

Mikey,
Guitar looks great;I have a question about the case.
It looks like the case has no side rail to support the guitar. There appear to be key head and pickup indentations in the inside bottom of the case. Are there no side rails holding the guitar up? I do see that small light-grey piece but it does not appear to be a support. Thanks steve t

I don't know anything about the Thomas steels , can somebody enlighten me. still made ? good ? about case support. are the knee lever angles changeable ? I have to have them touching my thighs if possible and short throws. I play an LGII and it fits like a glove. Weight? It looks heavy but I may order a 2 pc case. also my steels are 1" shorter but that's not a problem I don't think ! are parts avail or more knees
if I can work with it I'll take it Thank Skip

Skip, the knee lever angles are adjustable. They use a cap screw with a lock nut.
They guitars are not made anymore, but they are well-built and play and sound great. They are heavy. I love mine when I am not carrying it!

Oh, and as far as adjusting throws, the bellcranks have ten holes and the changer is triple raise/double lower, so you have a lot of options.

This steel weighs 49# out of the case. This particular case weighs 25 1/2# The knee levers are adjustable.

JOHN, this guitar has DALLAS with TSGA underneath that on the right side.
I didn't see that on your guitar on the forum.

1...not made any more, guitar was built in Modesto, Ca 95 or 96

It is a Dallas Cowboy guitar, thats why the color and star..it was my idea to do it for the Cowboys, was and still a fan

This guitar is as good as most out there today, just a bit heavier.

I remember Russ Hicks loved this guitar, he was in our booth all the time.

Who ever buys it will be happy

looking forward to getting this steel and thanks for all favorable comments (weight seeming to be the only
distraction) a cpl last ?? split tune capable? also can the 9 th string be loward after 2 nd string reaches 1/2 note drop and engages the 9th and both drop another 1/2 some steels use the 1/2 tone 2nd drop for the feel against the 9th thanks for input I will have a 2 pc case made which will help thanks all

Yes you are correct there must have been two Dallas guitars.

David Wright · Post by **David Wright** » 30 Aug 2013 2:42 am

John Coffman · Post by **John Coffman** » 30 Aug 2013 6:13 am

David Wright · Post by **David Wright** » 30 Aug 2013 6:45 am

David Wright · Post by **David Wright** » 30 Aug 2013 7:48 am

OK, I called Barry Thomas, here's how it goes
2 were built just the same
1 was built with a different color compo, for Mike Scaggs in Sac, Ca, his was A TEAL GREEN, WITH A BROWN STAT ON THE FRONT!!

THIS IS FROM THE BUILDERS MOUTH ...

sorry about the caps, not yelling.. $:\$

Up Date, Barry called back,
one of the 2 Dallas guitars was a rehab, a trade in that he re did to match the Dallas one, if you guys send me the ser # I can tell ya which one was the First ..and built from ground up.Dallas Guitar...

Thanks David. I sold mine to Jay DeShan. I still have my red Sd10. . loving my new Showpro.

Ted Nesbitt · Post by **Ted Nesbitt** » 30 Aug 2013 1:40 pm

David, is there a possibility that Barry may start building guitars again? I sold 2 of his guitars on this side of the pond. Great build quality, and super sounding guitars. Hope to see you again in March ..... Ivor will be there too
