Post by Roger Shackelton »

Here's a guy named Donny Johnston playing a BLANTON STEEL GUITAR on YouTube.

Does anyone know him?

Yes! Donnie is a regular at the Irish steel guitar show every year and always plays a great set. Great guy, too! :-)

Love the tone, effects and string seperation. First time I've ever heard a Blanton and it looks like new!

Have a read through this Roger and it may shed some light!

I was on the other end of the camera!

(I confess to being.. pedalrod / copperwound & psglicks on the tube) :lol:
each channel is used for different purposes!
pedalrod for projects
copperwound for other player videos and shows
psglicks for yours truly

That Blanton is 3ft from me as I write this and is for sale as it is not the lightest PSG and Donny has some health issues at the minute. He is currently playing a recently purchased Williams 600s
