Jamie: This must be the post of all posts. Of course, everyone wants to show off their arsenal, and everyone else wants to see it. This post makes it all possible. There's no reason it shouldn't continue indefinitely, as more and more people join and those already joined are still buying equipment.
Great thinking ! :D

Wow! So many Gorgeous makes and models. Fantastic!!!

I was looking to see if anyone had a "G.E.S." knowing very few were ever made. Bob Brown (no relation) had a Single 12 string G.E.S., that I sold him just before my new Double 10 G.E.S. was finished, in 1970 or 71.

Ray Nash, also had a double 10, that I sold for him in 1984.

Earl Sexton, plays a double 10 G.E.S. Earl is Shown in Winnie Winston's book with his Steel.

George Edwards, had or may still have one sitting around in his basement as well.

Walt Rutledge, got the last one ever produced. Actually the one I have was suppose to be his, but he was kind enough to let me get it, since I had sold my single 12, at the time and was without one.

I'll try sending a pic, as soon as I get her back together.

Great pictures, keep them coming.

A GREAT THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't laugh now :-) This is my music room/woodworking shop. As time allows I was planning on setting aside some of the space for a more appropriate room for my homebuilt. It is still the Steel with no name.

Well doubt if I will ever have such outstanding looking steel guitar as all of you have. Sure wish I had the money though to put out. I do have a very nice collection of guitars. Wish I could play as good as the guitars I have. I have the following guitars in my collection:

1. 1964 fender strat red
2 1964 fender strat blue
3. 1965 fender strat red
4. 1985 Kramer, Floyd Rose Tremolos
5. 1969 Univox hollow/electric
6. NO NAME Cheap bass
7. Esteban standard
8. Esteban electric
9. Esteban Classical, Cutaway. 2005,1st Collectable
10. 1954 National steel guitar
11. Gibson Les Paul Standard
12. Yamaha bass 5 string
13. Esteban 2006, in laid Collectable. 2nd Collectable

My mother just gave me the 1954 National Steel guitar. She bought it in 1954. She had bought I forget what they called it but a guitar/violin together but she couldn't learn how to play it so she traded it in and bought the National. However, she never learned how to play that either! Just no one around I guess in the small montana town that taught. But after 50+ years now it is mine!

I'll take a better photo next time

Here are the three guitars I own. The Zum I posted previously is an S-12 Extended E9 3X5. The MSA is a 1973 Classic S-10 E9 Universal 3X5. The PedalMaster is a S-10 E9 3X5. Each one is set up a little different with respect to the knee levers. The blue PedalMaster is my gig guitar. The MSA really honks and the Zum is just a fun guitar to play.

I love this subject, I have never seen such beauty; steel guitars are just great to look at. I wonder how many pages this will get up to?
