You have to decide what is sensible.. Most of us realize its not going to go cheap, but only you know what you paid, and what you expect to get for it... putting an asking price on it is only fair... bob
I'm over the hill and hittin'rocks on the way down!
no gear list for me.. you don't have the time......
These are incredibly well-made and beautiful sounding. Also, the pedals and and knee levers are precise and smooth like butter. Bobby Bowman called the Anapeg "The Rolls Royce of Pedal Steel Guitars". Noel Anstead retired from building pedal steels, and there are relatively few of these out there - whoever buys this will not only be buying a piece of history (Tom Brumley), but an incredible guitar.
Yes, But if you are listing something for sale put a price on it. If it is a Rolls Royce or the Hope Diamond they put a price on it. This site is not a auction site, it says Steel Guitars FOR SALE. Why should anyone on this forum send you an offer when they do not know what the high bidder is. It is a waste of that person time. Yes, I agree that it is one of a kind so hire an appraiser to give you what is a fair price and list it. Or just come up with what you think it is worth and price it. Someone will buy it if they know how much. J.R. Rose

Prices are not mandatory here. If you're seriously interested, send Colin an email.
Johnie King wrote that he thinks it should sell in the 5 figures (USD). I agree. Anapegs are rare and spectacular instruments, and this one was built for a legendary Hall Of Fame player.
I talked to Noel back in 1992 and cost with flight case and shipping to US was $4500 for a guitar similar to Tom Brumley's or Al Perkins'. Later on before he retired cost was $8000 to $9000. Whoever buys this one will get a very special part of PSG history.
I have been asked about shipping. I have a local courier that has delivered steels to Italy and Switzerland, so this is not an issue.
The guitar has its own fitted flight case, so it will be secure.
Colin,
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful and tonefull instrument with us....Those talented enough,and or wealthy enough, that can afford an instrument of this caliber should count their blessings that this instrument is available.....A true piece of history......Jim
Perhaps the country music hall of fame would like it for a steel guitar history display...consider the donation as a tax write off and everyone could enjoy seeing it at the museum....just a thought.....[/b]
James I agree
Wow if this was a tele from someone as famous as Tom Brumley instead of five figures it would be a 1,000,000 dollars. Who needs a tax right off I need a tax refund. Dog gone steel guitar is what made country music famous.
The Anapeg PSG has an awesome sound when played by players like Tom Brumley. Noel Anstesd built it exactly as Tom wanted it.
I played Tom's Anapeg in his home in Branson, MO, years ago. This was just after he had made one of his most beautiful CD's using his Anapeg; and he played some of THE most awesome phrases I ever heard. Click on the link from this CD:
Note: Two of the songs on this CD Tom used his Rickenbacker 7 string.
There will never be another Tom Brumley again. His touch was like NO one else's. One of the most exciting days in Tom's life (according to him) was when Buddy Emmons walked up to Tom in Madison Square Garden; which featured several country bands; and Buddy said, "Hoss if the rest of your playing is like what you played on "Together Again"; You're a helluva steel guitar player!". THAT was a rare scenario for BE, believe you me!
Of course, Tom went on to become one of THE greatest PSG player's there will ever be. I am sure that BE continued to be amazed at what Tom played.
May Jesus rest the souls of Tom and Buddy; and may he bless all of you and yours always.
Sorry you can't cope with moving your guitar Colin. I hope you get an offer that is commensurate with the true value of your Anapeg. It is an instrument that has historical value in addition to being one of the best ever built.
Show Pro D10 - amber (8+6), MSA D10 Legend XL Signature - redburst (9+6), Infinity SD10 (4+5) Sho-Bud Pro 111 Custom (8+6), Emmons black Push-Pull D10 (8+5), Zum D10 (8x8), Hudson pedal resonator. Telonics TCA-500, Webb 614-E,
Perhaps its time to donate it to the Country Music Hall of Fame...or do an auction right here on this site, or use one of the many online auction sites...that way you will likely find the true interest in your guitar.
