The Steel Guitar Forum

Sorry, but I just couldn't resist. I've never posted pictures before, but here goes...







The blue MSA Classic is a 1975 model and was my first and only guitar until I purchased the Legend new last year in St. Louis.

This is my BOEN Double 8 Non Pedal steel guitar. It was built I beleive in Dallas Texas. I am working on some Hank Williams songs from the Don Helms CD and Tablature course.

My odd Bud...........

New Mexico Sue.....your Boen was built in or around Ft Smith , Arkansas by Jimmy Boen , a fine man who has since graduated to a higher level.

Gotta show off mine!!!

Here's a couple of mine. The Fingertip is 9/3, and is next up for restoration. The Shobud S-10 is 3/6, and I don't think I need to tell you who did it, with Coop's parts, do I? You gotta recognize the fireplace!

Dang John!! Sweet guitars!!

WOW, John!! That's one incredibly beautiful Bud!! That color knocks me out!

Could the one responsible, ha!, for that be the, ha!, renowned R.D.? ha!

The old and the new!

Mike, either you recognized the superb craftsmanship, or,,,,,you recognized the fireplace!

Richard A.,looks like you have got 3 very sweet guitars your self!! Way to go!

My old sho bud and my mates sho bud !

Nice, Jamie!!

Couple more shots of Ricky's handiwork. And the business end of my Fingertip.

Here is my 1969 D-10 Rosewood Emmons P/P S/N 1312. Bryan Adams did a great job of restoring this Guitar for me. He's better at it than the Factory in my opinion. And yes, it has "that" sound.

here is mine

I'll try this again..Heres my baby

Hey Calvin, sweet Mullen you have there!!
Roger, what amp are you playing your Emmons through? If it's got "that sound", it's sure got "that look", too!! That's sure nice work Mr. Adams did for you!!

James, I'm playing my '69 Emmons through a 1977 Peavey Session 400, which I recently got back from the Factory, where Peavey Techs put it back to factory specs. I use a small amount of Delay and Reverb from my RV-3. I sometimes just use the Reverb from the Session 400 which does a very good job too. I also have a Nashville 112 I use occasionally and it gives you a good sound too.
This Emmons guitar sounds better to my ear than any P/P or All-Pull Emmons I have ever owned....and I have owned a Bunch of them over the years. I have let a few Emmons Guitars get away from me that I should have kept too.
I give credit to Bryan for the way the guitar was put together and taking the time to see that all the pedals were "Tweeked" to fit me. I am a beliver that if you feel good about how your guitar fits you and the way you sit behind it, you will play better and sound better. Thanks for your comments about the Guitar.

My Kline. A real workhorse! Never had to adjust any pulls in 20 years of 5 night a week playin'. And that says a lot about Joe!

My emmons is black, but my Super-Pro is a humdinger.

Doug, is this a custom job? I thought Super Pro's only came in black or red, and with no inlay on the neck(s).
