The Steel Guitar Forum

Good idea Jamie. The sooner they start the better. That way she is destined to become another Barbara Mandrell.
Wow..what an opportunity for a kid to get started at age 8 or 10.

I am sure you'll keep us posted.

Well, here's mine. "Blackie" is a '03 Legrande III 8&7.



And here's my '03 rosewood LeGrande II 8&8.

Here's my '95 Zum..



and '78 Emmons Original....



and '93 Lashly Legrande

Here's my Cougar lefty

I bought the Bud new in 1978. It stays at home now and I take the Williams out. I'm a sucker for lacquer

Here's my 74' lacquer...

Yeah, I like them lacquer guitars too. Here's my restored '75 Emmons. Dick Miller refinished the cabinet just before he died, Mike Cass handled getting the aluminum parts buffed, and yours truly made the additional knee levers, and did the assembly and setup.

If ever there was a world class example of "same thing-only different", it be this thread!
Beautiful machines...

Here are a picture of my 1972 shobud professional with custom made 8 string non-pedal neck.

I think this is probably one of the coolest threads ever posted on the Steel Guitar Forum.

Great Thread on the Forum!

The '76 red P/P has a new home in Texas, picture posted earlier in this thread by it's new owner, Justin Griffith. '96 LeGrande II, 8&9 and the favorite, an '84 LeGrande, 8&9.

It's just my personal opinion but, having looked at some pretty amazing steels on this thread, I rechecked every page and have decided on the "Best looking steel here.

And the winner is...drum roll, Stu's green Desert Rose!!

It's on the first page of this thread and deserves another look...KUDO'S to Chuck Back for building such an outstanding steel, Chuck, you are "DA MAN!"

Darvin's black lacquer Emmons (on this page) is in the running as well. And, of course, James Morehead's Professional.

I just got my first 'own' pictures of my pro-1 (the earlier one was courtesy of the previous owner)

here's one of 'em

The D-10 I've had since 1983 and the S-10 since 2004. I have a new steel on order and will show it off in a few months.

1978 S-10 - Found this from the original owner where it sat in the case over 20 years untouched. He practiced on it for nearly 2 years and put it away. Once it was cleaned up, it looked and played like a new guitar. I think this is one of the best Emmons tone I have owned and is my gig guitar now:




1974 D-10 - Original color was Blue and has faded to this... still nice. I've retired this guitar and will someday have it restored to original factory condition as it was my first pro steel. It has made me a lot of weekend gig money over the last 24 years:

Here's a fresh picture of my new Mullen. I've had it for a few days now, and got to try it on my gigs over the weekend. It sounds just as good as it looks! I think I'll be keeping this one for a long, long time!

Here is my A #1 pedal steel....a mid 1970s MSA Classic 8 & 4...the tone of these MSA guitars is totally fabulous.

My first PSG. Desert Rose from Chuck Back.

such beauties
bet ya'can't eat just one
