Post by Art Beard »

First time on open market to Forum members only. RAY WALKER USTOM SD10 4/5, with a few Sho-Bud parts (see forum write up, under Ray Walker of Jan 6th, 2007), for the story of the build. Custom lacquer body,, blonde birdseye with Australian leopard wood in medium brown -quite the looker. Completely machined undercarriage (see Finis spider listing for pics of undercarriage). Due to Medical problems, it will take a little while before I can post pics of it set up. I can text pics of body to those that r truly interested. The price for this great steel is Steal -$1900.00 plus shipping. This steel should sell for $2400.00 plus shipping.
I am hoping that those that have played or owned a Ray Walker steel will chime in as to its quality sound etc.PRICE REDUCEDED TO $1850. plus shipping :whoa: .

It truly hurts to sell the fine steel. But I need to sell, doe to other purchases, and my lawyer wanting more money. lol. This is a smooth playing, beautiful 4/5, with the Franklin change on pedal 4. Emmons set up with b to b flat on vertical. I don't know how to make changes. So that will be up to the lucky buyer. Please any typing errors, and word weirdness as it me or my stupid phones best work, lol.

Those that have played one of these steels, know how GREAT they truly are. RAY and Jack Palmer on N.C. did such great work. Hurry as those the know these guitars know how GREAT they are. If they have the need and the money, it will go fast. I know I missed some great steel guitars over the years by not following my instinces while fugurinh it out in my mind. Those with questions, please p.m. me and I will answer with complete honesty and to the best of my ability. I am not a Steel expert, but am a Steel lover. This steel has the MODERN SOUND.
I am a tone chaser,, the loves the sound of the early Sho-Buds, ZB's of tears gone by. While loving the sound and playability of this steel I am steel and room poor. Only so many steels can fit in a 5th wheel, (good thing wife divorced me). And I regretfully must sell 1 of the 4.

STILL TIME TO STEAL A STEEL FOR XMAS. If you are close to Arizona, there is time to have this beauty for Xmas. I plan to ship Fedex Fragile Ground due to having excellent service from them in the 2 steels I have purchased. Tone chasing, do love 68-73 tones.
