1958 Bigsby pedal steel guitar

Post by Peewee Charles »

I am posting this for a friend I met when I was very young and wanted to learn to play Steel guitar….He is 92 and just placed in a home…His Sons, asked if I could get an idea what it might be worth, someone interested in it, or even if a Country Music Museum might be interested in it..He bought it brand new from Bigsby, receipt is included from 1958…I will post time pics and any input would be appreciated..I know you are all so helpful and knowledgeable..Thanks. Ed. He was so helpful and I went on to play professionally, recording and touring the world with Gord Lightfoot for 16 years..He gave me some good advice. Lol
