I'll be putting a few more up soon. It's a pretty cool sounding axe.

Sounds great Steve! But to be honest, I think you could make an ironing board sound good :lol: You just got it like that!! Cool axe though. I have to see if those will be available in Europe anytime soon! Looking forward to some more vids!

Sounds nice Steve. What is the tuning you're using on this? I've been wanting to get one of these for a while now, but have to sell a few other things first.

Way to go, Steve. Cool.
You ought to have an endorsement deal for this demo.

I have one and tuned it to G like a dobro. Sounds great and does not feed back but lacks the resonator tone.

Steve, sounds great as usual. So do you like the PS enough to make it your main axe?

Thanks guys!

Jerry, the tuning is open E - EBEG#BE low to high.

Mark, I'm not quite comfortable enough playing standing up with the strap to make it my main steel yet. I have a hard time with hammer-on/pull-offs. I have used it on a bunch of gigs, and the "cool" factor is definitely heightened by playing standing up - especially in a crowded venue with a low stage.

Stephen, the pickup sounds good. It actually appears to be 2 individual single coils side by side, and the blend pot gradually blends them together. I mostly use just one coil - both together full on sounds kind of muddy to my ear.
