Who do I take my steel to in Northern CA?

Post by Charley Paul »

Hi!

I’m looking for someone to work on my steel in the Bay Area? North Bay preferred. Who is good, reliable and has a decent turnaround time?

Looking to have a U 12 setup as an S12 extended e9.


Thanks!

Tom Bradshaw in in Walnut Creek, Ca., if I remember correctly. His number is 925-932-2952 He is Steel Guitar Hall of Famer and refurbishes guitars he sells. Contacting him will at least determine if he will work on yours and turn around time.

If per chance you have any interest in learning how to do this yourself. You’re invited to use my workbench and I’ll give you some guidance. Turnaround time would be up to you.

Wow I think that’s would be a chance of a life time to have Ross tutor you through a steel copeadent change. But be careful he might have one of his Sierra creations lurking around his pig farm.
