The Steel Guitar Forum

You guy are cracking me up! That guitar may have some "Bite" to it. Was that model generally played on outside gigs?

Sure looks like the very likeness of one to me. Photogenic cuss ain't he? Not very ambitious if he hung around for the move though.

My Dad hung his shirt on a shovel leaned against the fence while gardening years ago. When he put the shirt on to go inside one of those guys bit him seven times across his back. Scars were there for the rest of his life.

brown rusler...nice! yup that old arachnid is still there, haven't taken an air compressor to the guitar yet. i'm glad somebody caught that! i thought it was pretty funny.

Ross...You can call yours the "Reclus-ler". I was in Sacto yesterday and stopped in at Village Guitar Werkes in the Town & Country Village shopping center (2934 Fulton). They are steel guitar savy and are trying to build that end of the business. Nice folks....Bob

That guitar looks like it was sold out of Webb's Music Center the birthplace of Webb Amplifiers.

I remember going out to Antioch to pickup a new first run Webb amp from John Campbell. They had just taken delivery on their first Rus-ler. It was a D-10 transparent lime green pin-striped birds-eye maple cabinet. It was beautiful and horrific at the same time. I lusted for it!

Rus-ler guitars were probably the pinnacle of "Hillbilly Art". They were to steel guitars, what Nudie suits were to formal wear.

here are some pics of the Rus-ler after i cleaned it up and painted it. came out alright...still need to touch it up and clean a few spots...

Very cool guitar!

The first pedal steel I ever owned was just like that one and mine was in like new condition. I got rid of it before I really knew what I was doing. For no more that I got for it I should have kept it. I guess you shouldn't keep all of them, but there's something about your first guitar.

wow ross..great job! looks like you've at least doubled your money now. you really did some serious clean-up on that changer. good work!

now it's a ross-ler!
