Wright T-10

Post by chas smith »

Many yrs ago, Larry Petree, the Wizard of Bakersfield, called me up and said he had a T-10. He didn't even have to say what kind it was. If it was a T-10, I had to have it. I was thinking of joining T-10 Anonymous, but they told me I might be too far gone and maybe I should just try cutting back to D-11s and see how that goes.

Be that as it may, I bought this guitar and I just dragged it out of he case. It originally had at least 6 peds, but it's down to 3 now, what was the tuning? ummmm I'm not sure, but I'll plug it in and I think it was originally made for Clarence Morton.

That's beautiful Chas. I've yet to see you post a guitar that didn't stop my heart or raise my eyebrows. Thank you for sharing.

Could we have a thread just for pics of unique older steels? Pedal and non-pedal.

Chas, This is one Beautiful Triple Wright Custom... I love these old Wrights. I have a passion for them as My late Father played His quad and loved it. I love the tone of the Wrights. Thank You for sharing it. Nice Steel Sir.

I love the handle on the end. My parents Kitchen had matching handles. It's interesting how much on these old guitars were made out of what was available at the hardware store.

I HAVE THREE PEDALS AND THREE PEDAL CRANKS AND MY ALL CAPS ON, I apologize for that. I know I have the pulleys and the other parts in the warehouse. Give me a call.

So much guitar, so few pedals... :oops:

It is beautiful though. My first steels were Sho-Buds, light blond like that Wright, and I always loved the color.
