Pedal Steel Work

Post by Tony Rincon »

It's been a while since I've posted on here as I've been building for Collings Guitars for the past 6 years. I did a lot of work with the late great James Morehead and his lovely wife Tree.

I'm currently looking for projects as simple as setups to as difficult as a full strip/refinish/burst/rebuild, etc.

I have plenty of references and past customers that can provide testimonials if you'd like...I also have some pics of past projects as well that I can dig up upon request.

I am located in Austin, TX.

Thanks in advance and I hope we can get some work done! :)

It's going to be tough to find all of the refinishes I did because it's been a while...here's one I'm pretty sure I did all of the refinish work on:

Maybe Ricky Davis can help find some pics of those refinishes...?

Why are you all in Texas

I really wish One of you repair guys would move north. Your all in Texas, I love Texas but it's far from Buffalo and I'm so paranoid about shipping the steel. Good Luck to you Tony!
You are me as I am you

Tony,

that refin was for me; thanks!!

Bryan--there are several good repair guys in New England: Tommy Cass in MA, John Widgren in CT, for starters. Not sure about refinishing, though.

No that doesn't help someone with a traumatic brain injury..ha...I can't remember details of many many things....It would have to be a steel that I worked on and have a file for and all my files are by the clients "name".
Be safe on the road bro....talk at ya later.
