Barry,The color?I have an antique candle stick that is a very faint pinkish translucent color... so I sent a picture of it to Chuck and asked if he could get close to the "Zinfidel"coloring,I've also developed an affection for a white fretboard on top of a white top apron which has gotten me in trouble in the past but I think its really cool!

Wow Stu what a nice guitar
I just love the color too. I did't even know Chuck Back made a keyless. Looks like really first class workmanship too. Chuck is about the nicest person I know with no end to his talents. You will have to update us on the finer points of your new guitat after you play it a while

So after a few weeks with this Desert Rose Keyless pedal steel guitar,I'm really digging everything about it....so far the George L's10-1 sounds great and I can't tell any difference in the way it rings vs. A keyhead guitar?Rich,We might know some Alaska folks in common?

Desert Rose.....Amazing
I think it would be nice if all manufacturers had a keyless option.
Well done Desert Rose peoples....you can see the love in this guitar.

Two thumbs up!
Two thumbs up!
What a beautiful PSG that is.
I didn't know that Chuck ever made keyless steels. Maybe this is his first?
He's a class act all around.
Congratulations on your new steel Stu.
