Asking $1495 plus shipping trades up or down.
1595 with detachable pad

This GS has as good a tone maybe better than the pro model push Pull not my opinion but the pros opinion.

This little Emmons come with a detachable pad slides over two bolts an fasten with two wing nuts. I like the shelf an wrist pad best but of course I can build the full pad.
This a good way to try a push pull with out breaking the bank.
Some pros say these little Emmons sound better than there big brother!)
Pictured below is the original steel before improving the appearance of this GS Emmons.

3 an 2
ABC pedals
Right knee right lowers both E strings
Left Knee left Raises both knees.
Left knee raises both Es
Sounds like a very good push pull Emmons.
Plays like a dream!
If you are interested Pm or Email zkinglapsteel@gmail.com
Will trade for the right steel

I agree but it will have to be thinner because the keyhead sits lower. I have one that I replaced all the tuner keys. Looks good. Sounds as good as the pro models.

looking for nice pedal steel

Post by Don Manson »

Hello, I am a beginner looking for a pedal steel in really good condition. I am not a mechanic so probably couldn't repair one. Needs to be a reliable guitar. Am looking for something around $2000 or less. Thanks.

I’m crazy about push pull tone an playability an if you’re a young person you could learn too be a good push pull mechanic there simple too me to work on an set up push too lower pull to raise an some slack where you need it.
If you want a steel that is Brand New a
Zum stage one would be my choice around $1100 for a 3 an 4.
The stage one has a great resell value they usually bring from $900 too 1100.
Email for my phone Number if I can help you let me know
