The Steel Guitar Forum

Despite my original tongue-in-cheek remark, I agree with Rick on this one.

George B. was at National when the tricone and the original single-cone guitars were introduced, and was with Rickenbacher when the horseshoe pickup was developed. Coincidence? Maybe ... but it seems unlikely.

It seems clear that there was no love lost between John Dopyera and George Beauchamp, and that George B. have been quick to take credit for innovations that weren't solely his. But some pretty significant things happened wherever they worked -- together or separately.

Pardon the topic drift, but Rick, I think you have found a rather nice place to stash that Style 1!
