I think it's a germane issue, as it's something that would likely go beyond six-string PSGs. Just my guess what guitarists would want to do.
you got it !!!
i WANT to get new people guys and gals playing
and by selling them on equipment thats out of their reach
or trying to make them think that if they get a 10 or 12 string with X number of pedals and knees
they can play what they hear
it just aint so !!!!
they end up frustrated and confused , the guitar goes in a closet
and we just lost a new player !!!
its just that damn simple
get these folks playing something ..ANYTHING
keep our instructions on their lever and encourage them to master the fundamentals UNTIL
they are ready to advance and then you will see a lot more new and even better players
not to mention a lot less frustration .
most that come to the pedal steel are adults and can handle the simple truth
that they NEED to start on something simple and work up as they progress
at their own speed NOT someone else's speed

did you just say that you out grew a 3 x 1 in only a couple of weeks ?
i've been around steels and steel players north of 20 years and i have NEVER even once
heard of anyone that could even come close to that !!!!
