Thanks for takin' great care of it; looks great. Sorry you have to sell it; but who ever gets it this time; will certainly enjoy a Rolls Royce of steel guitars.

Doug and Ricky; You both must be at a "crossroads" in life. Your natural talent and tenacity got you this far..don't be discouraged. Steady on the walk of life. 'This too will pass...'
My view is, if Sho-Bud were still making guitars, they would've evolved into this sort of visual/technical wizardry. Don't let these guys down, claim it for your own!

It always does my heart good to see this steel from time to time.....It's got to be the most GORGEOUS pedal steel that I have ever seen ..... Whoever ends up with this steel will surely be a happy camper !!...It makes me wish I played a D-10 .... I had a Plum colored Fulawka, and it was also a great looking steel.....I couldn't get use to a D-10 .....Oh well....It's still great to look at and smile !!.......Sincerely, Jim

I have a friend who owns a Fulawka s-10. I was lucky to have the chance to play such beautiful great sounding guitar. Who ever buys this one will be happy!

Hi Al, my wife and I met your neice at Muligan's pub, where I was pickin a little with George Hogan's band this summer. She is a real sweet lady and thinks the world of you. Yep, it is hard to give up such a nice guitar... Take care.

Mulligan's! I have many a fine memory of playing there in the shadow of Kodak park. (Never with as pretty a guitar as the Fulawka, though...)

I say lets keep selling her every few months, that way we can all try that Blue Darling !

Everybody who really knows, knows blue guitars sound the best.
This one must be great.
