Speedy's Steels

Post by Andy DePaule »

I was thinking about this and trying to remember.
He told me this steel was homemade, but I can't remember if he made it or someone else?

I've seen photos of him with one of these Rickenbacker D-8 steels, so maybe that was in between the homemade and the Bigsby.
Wish my memory was better! :eek: :whoa: :roll:
