I supported the guy's trade at the beginning of this thread. And the rest is just good-natured tongue in cheek ribbing. And 12 Vettes? Wow, I'm 69 and almost old enough to buy my first one! That makes you -- what? -- 165???
Here's a shot of some guy playing a fingertip that sounds much like a split tail...

Well I'm 66 and I did buy my first Vette when I was maybe 30 ! I didn't wait until 60 ! The others were somewhere in between, just like Steel guitars.
and this > never pass up a good deal on a "good" Vette just like a good Pedal Steel. Quality Vettes sell in the same short time window as a quality Steel guitar...

I got to play Jakes fingertip today and that thing has the smoothest silky highs I've ever heard. Guitar is in great shape and has smooth action. I think he has a winner.

Yes sir, I believe that I have the ultimate vintage Sho-Bud D-10 Pedal Steel now. Exactly what I wanted!!! Makes me really love trading. When it comes down to it, I traded up to this via the Emmons LGII from a Gibson mandolin that I didn't like... Wound up with it in a trade somehow or another too...??? Hats off to the Forum for hooking folks up with their dream guitars!!!

I thought I was the only one who thought this way..Jake Gathright wrote:.. I play the old school way. I play a guitar, a volume pedal, and a tube amp. I don't get into the fancy gadgets and this and that. In my opinion, the steel guitar world is eaten alive with gadgetry...

Been wondering since I first read this post what was "worn out" on your fatback, Billy.Tony Smart wrote:Billy, out of interest, what was worn out on the Emmons?
Not to contradict, and no offense intended, but last Summer I dropped my two push/pulls off in Crystal, MN for a couple weeks. It was past time for some much-deferred maintenance and knee lever installation, etc. There lives a man who is a retired Emmons dealer, and is highly regarded in a multitude of disciplines, but especially in the field of Emmons push/pulls.
He told me that it is virtually impossible to wear out an Emmons push/pull, and the loosest, most worn instrument he had ever come across (and he's seen a ton of 'em through the years, literally), is a rather special 1968 rosewood 'mica D-10 famously known as "The Blade."
