Hi folks. Below is a link to a previous post where some had expressed interest in the Perina Steel made by Peter Williams from Toowoomba Australia
I have included the pics here as well.It's a little battle scarred but supurb tone!

Thanks Stu, thanks Jeremy, They are great guitars and Peter is a nice guy. I want to see if I can talk him into making me a twin. Noel Anstead ( Anapeg guitars)thinks they are good. Peter winds all my pickups for my lap steels I make and they are supurb but as impotant, they are made to last with the process he uses. He wound the P/U for this pedal steel and it blows me away every time.
Cheers

Hi Stu,
I still haven't taken any pix of Kenny Kitching's double-neck Perina, but I haven't forgotten. Last time I saw him (a recent gig for both of us) he played his 7-string Dobro. Here's a pic of one of the greatest gentlemen of the steel-guitar in Australia:-
One of our greatest!

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. |

| Yep Kenny is one of our best. Not sure Stu how long Peter has been making them and no there is no web site but I am going to ask Peter soon as I want a KL moved and another added. Kenny is comming to our festival in June so I will be sure to snap some pics. He also had Noel Anstead (Anapeg Guitars) made him a non pedal steel he clips to the near side. |
