MSA pedals.. good choice. the dekley pedals were kind of odd if you play in socks like me.
Thats a great deal for someone. Dekleys are solid as a rock with anvil like reliability and sound GREAT.. As good as any steel i ever had.. i have had 2 of them over the years.. there are VERY few high quality s10 steels around for $1300 any more.. Very good buy here... bob

I traded straight up an ETS steel for one of Bob's Dekleys
and it was the best trade I've made. The tone and sustain on the Dekley is great, not to mention the fact it stays in tune and is about as rugged a guitar you'll ever find. Good luck with the sale and I know someone will end up with a great professional steel at a great price, actually much cheaper than most student models out there.
By the way, hope all is well with you Bob.

Hey guys thanks for the comments and pic edit. It is a great guitar and I wouldn't sell if I didn't need the money for some other things. But health issues create bills and they need to be paid.

Hi Dennis.. yes that was a really good guitar/// If I recall correctly it has a red pickup correct?.. That was a super nice sounding guitar.. To my ears very close to an old Bud type of vibe... bob

Hi Bob, Yes, it is the same guitar with the red pickup, and if memory serves me right the pickup came from a Marlen guitar. I love the guitar and plan on keeping it and who knows, probably pass it on to one of the grand children. Great to hear from you Bob, take care!!

Bobby,

If you look closely in the pictures it appears that the fretboard is slightly wavy. Is it coming off of the neck in some areas?

Thanks,

Leo

Still available! Just played it in my music room. Great tone, good sustain, good string separation, and overall clean, especially for age. I think I said it was a 78 or 79, but I looked back at what Jim Smith had told me and it was a late 77 or early 78. I apologize and wanted it corrected. BL

How heavy is heavy? And what makes it not in good shape? I have been learning on a fender by sho bud student model and would like to upgrade.

Bobby Lenamon · Post by **Bobby Lenamon** » 6 Jul 2019 5:00 pm

What I meant in the ad was the guitar itself is not heavvy, but the case itself is heavy for a case because it's made really good. Probably 1/2 " plywood. The case is not in good shape but it will protect your guitar and the hinges and latches work. The handle is not broke either. If I pointed out any problem w/o The the guitar,on one leg the part which tightens to extend the leg does not tighten like it should. However it can be fixed easily by moving this to be used on the front of the guitar. But I didn't mess with it because the bottom length part goes so far and it stops and is level and posed no problem for me sitting behind the guitar. I hope I explained that correctly to understand . Otherwise, it's a nice guitar to upgrade to without laying out a couple of thousand dollars. I will not sell anyone anything which I feel someone would have a problem with. I don't want to be deceived nor do I want to do it to anyone just to sell something.

Thanks to those who had complimentary words for the Dekley. This is nice guitar that plays nicely and sounds sweet. It is still available for a little while. If there are no takers I will remove shortly and will continue to use it myself. I feel it is priced right and worth a little more. BL

Is she still available?

Bobby Lenamon · Post by **Bobby Lenamon** » 11 Jul 2019 6:34 am

Yes,the Dekley is still available!

I bought a Dekley SD10 on the forum a couple months ago in not as nice shape as this one for $1500. They are seriously well built and stay in tune forever, great sounding too, just not with me behind it.
