a Practice steel

Post by Bob Ripperden »

Hi, I saw a Practice steel on a web page... was maybe 18" long with 10 strings and about 3 frets. It is only to practice on finger picking. It sells for $40.00...I would to buy one but I can't remember which steel guitar co. made it. :oops: Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Bob

Mike Cass makes some pretty nice ones. Don't know how much they are.

BSG make one, the call it a practice-board, it's on the BSG steel guitars website, http://bsgsteelguitars.com/
The steel guitar is a hard mistress. She will obsess you, bemuse and bewitch you. She will dash your hopes on what seems to be whim, only to tease you into renewing the relationship once more so she can do it to you all over again...and yet, if you somehow manage to touch her in that certain magic way, she will yield up a sound which has so much soul, raw emotion and heartfelt depth to it that she will pierce you to the very core of your being.

How many folks out there use one, I see some value in some situations. How is it tuned-to your basic tuning??
