The Steel Guitar Forum

Found this photo in the scrap book taken about 1971/2
I think, from left to right :the late,great Gordon
Huntley,Eric Snowball president of ZB Guitars UK,
Pete Wilshire and Tom Brumley, might stir a few
memories,all the best

Check out Tom's fringed vest. Do you think he still has it?

Sorry I forgot,have any of you eagle-eyed pickers
noticed that the 4th and 5th tuning keys on the
E9th neck are missing, Eric Snowball could'nt throw
any light on it( him like me are getting old and
can't remember things like we should )perhaps Tom
if he reads this can shed some light on it.
All the best

Gee, I didn't know Tom smoked.....(other than on his steel!)

Doesn't look to be any strings on the front neck .

Theres strings on that neck,,, it looks like their are only 6 strings on the Low side of the neck,,, you can see them in the headstock,,, looks like there might even be some fingers missing out of the changer as well!!!!

you are right Nathan . Old eyes !

Hallo Boys
The picture has'nt come out that well on the Forum
but I have the original glossy photo and all the
strings appear to be there except the 4th and 5th,
as I said I can't remember where the photo was
actually taken but as Tom's bar and pick pouch is
on the top I can only assume it was a gig somewhere
in the UK, it was a long time ago !!
All the best Frank

Hallo again
This might be a better picture of the Steel,see what
you can make of it
Cheers Frank Bloomfield

Maybe Tom will tune in with the straight skinny here...

Dennis

(Great photos BTW!)

Looks like Eric might be hitting Tom up for a smoke ...
