Cool, I think 2 and 4 would be the Guyatones because of the tone, if thats right I wouldn't know which was which. All the others I would just be guessing, can't wait to find out. Good idea Doug.

2 - 1960s Guyatone S-8

Wild guesses, but the second one sounds like your red guyatone. The fifth one seems to have the richest vibrato, maybe a heavier bar. If that's the pedal steel then I want one.

I wanna root out the Guyatones, how about # 5 for the double 8.

The '66 Emmons definitely sounds the best. Which one is it? Beats the #&$*@ outa me!
The Century-6 sounds real good too. It's black.

the only 2 guitars on the list i have owned are the Fender Dual and a 66 Emmons (now sold). cut #4 sounds very familiar to me, i would guess the Fender, but maybe its the Emmons - it had a very light airy sound that was wonderful

Doug:
I have a tin ear when it comes to recognizing the tones of different steels.
Very enjoyable tunes and playing.

On Friday I came home with tired ears and the last 4 sounded all the same to me.
Today there is a vast difference.
1 Valco
2 Guya S8
3 Fender
4 Emmons
5 Guya D8
6 Gibson

I have no idea which steel is which... all sound great to me. it's a testimony to "the tone is in the hands" theory. Doug your playing is amazing and you could make a wooden spoon with dental floss sound good!

I never would have guessed that #6 was the Emmons PSG.

those bolt-on emmons sound different than other PP (imo) - if i hadnt owned one i would never thought that was a PP, but i recognized the sound immediately.
the one i had was very light & airy sounding, very similar to Dougs. the sound fit very well into the mix of a band without being "in the way".
