Tom Brumley Anapeg

Steve Epstein · Post by **Steve Epstein** » 12 Jun 2023 11:21 am

Built in 1993 by Noel Anstead with creative input from Al Perkins, this was Brumley's first Anapeg. The guitar is an 11 string with 4 pedals and 5 knees.
The No.2 guitar was a yellow, red, black sunburst with a red stained center inlay in the shape of the Anapeg logo rotated 90 degrees. This guitar is in excellent condition. There is some evident aging to the end plates but normal for a thirty year old guitar. There are no flaws or contusions to the wood.

I can answer some questions but I do not know the ohms of the pickup, however it does run through two switches under the body of the guitar that I suppose changes polarity. No trades or offers. I will quote shipping per the buyers location.

$11,000

What a beautiful Anapeg. Tom would be so proud of how well his guitar has been taken care of. Very few of these will ever be available.

What a wonderful guitar. It would also sound as good as it looks too.
As quoted by others on the forum Anapeg's are the Rolls Royce of pedal steels.
Good luck with the sale! It is definitely worth the money!

So . . . what does pedal 4 do in the way of chords? Does it really raise (lower?) the B to F?

That’s what it does.

The switch is a coil tap.

A truly remarkable steel guitar! I own and play an Anapeg! They are next level in mechanics and playability! You really have to experience them. This is a good price for a master built steel! Good luck with the sale!

Tom and I spent 2 weeks together on tour in Canada when he first got with Desert Rose Band. I hadn't seen him in a few years afterwards and ran into him in St. Louis. I could see the excitement in his eyes and hear it in his voice telling me about this guitar. We went to Noel's room and I got to play this very guitar. Let me just say that if I had the money, it would be gone. This is quite the jewel of a guitar. It is a wonderful piece of machinery. The buyer will not be disappointed.

1993 , St Louis I S. G A, I had a suite next to Buddy E. I hosted a meeting for Bill Stroud , Tom and Noel. Tom and Noel wanted Bill to make parts for Anapeg. tom brought this guitar for Bill to inspect to my room. The reason I had a suite was because I had a break in and theft by hotel staff in 1992. Bill wanted to use my rom for the meeting and I gladly agreed. I did get to sit behind this beauty for about 10 minutes. Bill did not make any parts as he was to busy . I will always remember the day.
