The Steel Guitar Forum

I thought I'd heard about every name given to the pedal steel, but I picked up an album last week and on about half of the tracks was listed "pull-string guitar."

Now I've heard everything.

I always thought a 'pull string' guitar was a 6 string guitar with a b bender...

Yup, every reference to 'pull-string' guitar I've ever seen is a 6-string with bender.

What album was it and who played it?Just curious...thanks!

I don't remember. I was looking through the used albums at Goodwill. If I don't recognise a group I always check to see what instruments they're playing.
Dan and Dave may be right: they might have been referring to a 6-string with a Multibender. I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Very Cool, Danny! I'd never seen that site before...I was hanging out with Freddy Weller not too long ago & he still has his Evans pull string guitar from his Paul Revere & the Raiders..very cool & unusual...

My friend calls them a Step Pedal Guitar.
He just can't get it right.

My "pull string" guitar. Hipshot.

very cool

Cool guitar John... I've got an old red longhorn.

The silver sparkle looks great. Don't give me any ideas!

BTW, that chair must be huge!

The chair is really comfortable! Eames design.

The guitar has so many frets, you can get into Hugheyland!

World class lounging... I've seen familys living in apartments in the orient that were smaller than that chair!

BTW, To offset the flashiness of that guitar you better dress up like "The Electric Horseman"

I admit,,,,, I do have a silver lame' zoot suit! Need to let it out though. Haven't worn it in 20 years. Ex made it for me.

Ex made it for me.

That was repellant to keep other women away!

Didn't work Danny!
I've got a banana zootie too! Reet pleats, pegged to death!

Oh yes, I remember the famous pickup line... "You girls wanna come out to the van and check out the bands outfits?" Hahahahahahahahahaha!
