Hey Guys - I'm thinking about getting a carter starter, but I was curious what is a good PSG that is one step up from the carter starter?
Should I pay a few hundred dollars more and get something better?
What does a carter starter not have that I should be looking for?
Thanks
Jon |

Definitely pay a bit more for something better (IMHO). There are a bunch of threads on the site that will point you towards: Stage One and Legend (CarpSteel), or getting something used. Just search around and you'll find several reviews and recommendations.
Some things to consider: are you going to ever venture away from a standard E9th (Emmons) Copendent, do you want to 'tinker' with it, how sturdy do you want your steel to be, etc... |

I sure wouldn't hesitate to get a Stage 1 guitar if you are looking to buy new. I'm really impressed by Michael Doucette (forumite & Nash session musician) who used one to backup Rhonda Vincent and Gene Watson concert on the Woodsongs Old Time Radio hour.

What more do you need?
My Stage One is set up a little different (E's lower and 1st raise are different), but I can adjust pretty quick. I have played it the last 6-7 gigs, and it plays like a champ. Great tone too.
I can carry it in assembled in one hand, and my amp in another. Finish the gig, put it in the back seat of my truck assembled.
My Stage One is no replacement to my wonderful Rains, but most of the changes are there. Last week I was doing 1-45 min set. Quick setup/tear down.
To me it's just another tool with it's specific purpose. |

| my 40 yrs of copedent development/placement is more personal, i guess. i have similar changes but in positions i prefer. it would be very difficult for me to play a generic setup. |
