Steel guitar collection consigned at local shop

[Glenn Wilde]

I think most of us here already have all the steels we need, so bargain prices are the only thing that would entice us to buy, at least that's where I'm at. There are some fine guitars there though.

[Jack Hanson]

There are some nice instruments there but it seems like "Back to the future" on the pricing. Most of these sell somewhat lower the times I've seen them.
The shop is not far from me, but I wouldn't waste the time since the posted prices are not even a good point to start negotiating in my opinion.

Agreed. But with the way prices (at least asking prices) have gone to the moon lately, if they're still in the store in a year or two they may not be out of line.

[Doug Beaumier]

Yeah, today’s asking prices are hard to accept, especially if you were around back in the day when any one of those lap steels could be had for $50. (used, not new).

Doug,I noticed the Jerry Byrd model you showed has no Horseshoe pickup. What's up with that

[Erv Niehaus]

There's a horseshoe pickup, the narrower model.

[Doug Beaumier]

Yes, the later version of pickup, the horseshoe was not actually a magnet by that time, just cosmetic I believe.

[Mike Neer]

Judging from the price list, he really wants to get rid of the MSA.
