Left Handed Pedal Steel
Does anyone know of any builders who will make a lefty other than GFI & EXCEL? I wrote Emmons a yr. ago and the response was " we are low on l.h. parts. And as soon as we get some we will contact you!" well still no reply there. And I lost interest in an Emmons for that.
I have an Excel 2000 and a GFI ultra uni 12. Love them both. Now considering another! Thanks for reading!

Tony, I would be delighted to build you a left handed guitar.
Feel free to call me at 480-986-2599 and we'll discuss it.
Here is the prettiest lefty I've built. The man plays left on top and right footed on the pedals.
I can put you in contact with him if you like.

Re: left handed steel
Brett, I have a funny story about Monte and his left-handed steel. In 19 ninety sum thin he was playing for Neil McCoy. They played a show in Reno , and I was in one of the bands that opened for him. I offered to let him use my guitar to avoid have him carry his up the stairs to the stage. He said "Nawww thanx anyway" I said "It's a Push Pull Emmons 8 and 4 pretty standard!" He replied "I have mine set up a little different" and It took me a minute to figure it out. He was a super nice guy! I have seen him on youtube fronting and singing on Lower Broadway

Hey Tony and Cody - There have been only a couple or three posted on the list over the past 3 years, all nice professional models. If you need to economize with a "student" model, Stage One or Bob Simmons have options in the $1000 range. A few years back, Stage One was only a six week wait. Both build professional grade guitars too. The good thing about a new lefty in the $1000 range, is you will have no problem finding a buyer. The numbers interested in the $2000+ range are much fewer though. And if you need to move some good lefty gear, let us know.

lefty gear
Hi James, I was wondering, do you have a music store? or? I have a beautiful L.h.GFI ULTRA UNI 12 made for me in 2010. 7x5 Emmons/Newman set up. I changed the Geo. L to a Wallace Truetone.I bought it because I alway's wanted to try one. And never being able to demo one, I went by what I see, hear and know from other players... GFI craftsmanship is 2nd to none in my book. I still play my D10 more than the uni... it is in A-1 cond. I was thinking of selling it. I see what the new ones cost now in a lefty. All are custom builds and are direct order at list price. I have a selling price in mind. What do you think it worth? I know finding a buyer may be tough if I should decide to sell. I would need the $$ for another one. Thanks for reading!
