Would like some feedback on the Fulawka steel.

what has been your experience?
I talked to Eddie at length at the St. Louis convention and they seem well built.
also are there any s-10 or sd-10 out there cluttering your music room? let me know. Jack

Do a forum search for Fulawka.
(That's the "search" under the ADD REPLY button above).
Or you can wait a few minutes for Ricky to respond. Image

I've only seen positive comments.

Here's a Universal. You can probably have it set up as a S10DB. <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Joey Ace on 05 November 2002 at 04:50 PM.]</p></FONT>

Man, I love mine. Plays great, stays in tune-got that wood sound. I've heard it described as a "Sho-bud on steroids". I don't play well enough to know that, but it sure sounds great-even with ME at it!!! Image

JB, you got that right! As far as I'm concerned Fulawka makes the absolute hands down best lacquer body guitar on the planet. They are what Sho-Buds should have become and if I didn't own two restored mint condition Sho-Buds with new mechanics I would own two Fulawkas. I saw Bob Lucier play
his up in Canada and he let me try it. Growl overtones like a push-pull along with butter smooth mechanics and knockout lacquer finish.

In line with what Kevin said, if I ever desired to do Sho-Bud RIGHT, it will be a new Fulawka.

I have had my Fulawka U-12 for 3 years and never played it out as I didn't want to damage it in any way. This guitar is like a beatiful piece of Queen Ann furniture.

However, I am going to play this beauty out on the job Friday night for the first time.
