He was chatting about guitars and multiple pedal options that have evolved.

Does anyone have a photo of that Sierra Steel Guitar purchaser that actually had a DOUBLE ROW of foot pedals on his steel? Possibly, as many as twenty?

If you have one, please share it here on the Forum.

I seem to recall that the guitar in question was built for Al Petty. I do not have a photo, but there may be one in either "Steel Guitarist" or "Steel Guitar World" magazines, I will check my collection and let you know.

Well Brendan.......you're a man of few words, one can clearly tell.

If I understand accurately the impression that you were trying to convey......you disagree with my basic statement, eh? (Just attempting to give you a bad time.)

I guess I don't think so.

For me this is a little further than I want to go. Oh Well

I had the opportunity to see Al Petty and his guitar one year at St. Louis. Pretty amazing to say the least.

Strange how most of the best players have the least.

I'm sure it took real talent, skill, and hours of practice, to play those instruments. They could fit right in visually, with the finest church pipe organs. They would also appear to be that demanding to play. Believe I'll stick to the KISS principle.

Not really. Since you most likely will not use most of those, why bather to tune them? Rolling Eyes
