Got my FSK yesterday. Only had time to try it at home, but I like it. Has the Fender sound (though not the tube sound) and is LOUD.
By the way, it retails for 1700 USD in Norway (I traded it for a 66 D6 Stringmaster and a little cash).
Can't wait to try it on stage... |

Hej Tore,
I'm happy to hear that you're satisfied with the Steel King. I've had mine for two months now and it seem to sound better every time I play it (probably due to speaker break-in and my increased understanding of the controls).
Btw, I really appreciated your playing at the Seljord festival this summer. Your work with Malin Pettersen was particularly impressive. That Emmons sounded great!

I'm a little puzzled, I've played mine at a couple of shows and everyone likes the way it sounds, and I read how popular it is, but so far mine is the only one I've seen at a show or gig. I've been playing my N-112 on the job because it's lighter and everything is run through the system so I don't need the extra power. (The N-112 sounds great too).Why Don't I see more FSKs? I love mine.

| I have never tried one, I use my MusicMan HD 130's with Altec Lansing speakers and find it to be the best of anything I have ever used both past and present. |

Hi Tore,
Nice to see that you have chosen the Steelking 
I've had mine for half a year now, and I love it. Lars Egil Vågseter tried mine for a studio gig... and now he's got a FSK too.
P.S. Vestnorsk Steelgitarklubb will have a meeting in Ørsta 8.-10. Sept. You are most welcome to join us :-)
Kind regards,
Geir Arne Boska
