I received a post from another forumite….” I bought one of these earlier this year and I am very happy with the instrument. I paid a fair price which was $2,500.00 Australian. When you compare any electric guitar of this age, quality and heritage I think they represent very good value. My other guitars are getting jealous I'm sure.”

Pee Wee Charles is the stage name for Ed Ringwald, former steel player for Gordon Lightfoot and arguably Canada's greatest steel guitarist. Neither the stage name nor his real name appears in the member directory. Proceed with caution.

You just don't see any of these in this good condition. Price is quite reasonable.
