If you want a All Pull Steel that sounds as close to a Emmons PP as you can get, This is it. I have a 82 Rosewood SKH 056L that's a keeper for sure. Mine has the Brown Emmons Chevron. Good luck on the Sale Keith.

Is there a difference in tone between the SKH & the LeGrande II?

Al Vesel · Post by **Al Vesel** » 25 Jun 2015 6:40 pm

Keith,

You're right, it's not hype. By far the best sounding pedal steel I've ever owned, played, sold, etc !!! Also Billy's correct !!!!

I sold mine a couple years back and I hesitated to do so. A LITTLE WHILE BACK I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO BUY IT BACK. After I sold it, I emailed the guy that if he ever sold it to give me first dibs. He was a newbie. He kept it for a year, then he wanted to try another pedal steel. He loved it, but he just wanted to try something else. Didn't we all as newbies!!!

I got it back and it's here to stay!!! They have tone & sustain like no other that I have ever played or owned, or sold!! AND I'VE HAD EVERY BRAND OUT THERE OTHER THAN A RAINS.

Keith emailed me. Mine is SN 227L, so yes, this is the one made right after mine. WOW !! If I needed another steel I'd buy this just so I could have a set of twins of these amazing pedal steels!!!

This should sell fast.

Rich, they do sound different from the II's and I think it's probably due to the completely difference changer, not the key head. Ones I've played do have that growl that push pulls do. My friend in here in town has a D-10 black that's just an awesome sounding guitar.
Wish I had the dough, I would sure own this one.

Keith Bolog · Post by **Keith Bolog** » 27 Jun 2015 6:31 am

It even sounds remarkably different than my very early legrande with the longer key head. Casual non-players confirm it and choose the SKH.

No telling if any or all of the differences are responsible (smaller cabinet diff changer etc). I always thought the pickup was the key tone ingredient, helped by sustain etc, mechanincal issues. They did something right accidentally (?)

I never found a good answer to why the later 14 hole bellcranks were better. After working on it I can tell you the 4 hole swivels are held in place by the most exasperating little circlip. Awful design but wouldnt want to swap them out, just in case.

Can't undersatnd why this hasn't been sold yet. These guitars are rare and collectable. I would't trade , sell or part with mine for any reason. Mids like nothing else I have ( and i have some great guitars).
Stay firm on your price. That fair for this desired guitar. The timing will happen.
Good luck.

I think the price is too cheap! Check this one out:

Keith,
Brian is correct. Stand firm on that price. Your's is only a couple hundred more than I sold and reb ought mine at. And this one of your's has 2 more foot pedals!!

So you are being fair on this price. AND THEY ARE RARE. So I see these going up quite a bit more on pricing starting very soon.

Al Vesel · Post by **Al Vesel** » 28 Jun 2015 12:44 pm

Keith,
Brian is correct. Stand firm on that price. And this one of yours has 2 more foot pedals than mine. That's even more rare.

Tim, it sounds like you're really enjoying that SKH you purchased from me. Great guitars, aren't they?

Lately I noticed nobody is buying anything, not just guitars. Size or price of item doesnt matter. Maybe something Super rare or significantly underpriced, but everything else, not so much.

Less disposable income compared to years past is my guess. Very little interest in anything I offer up in the last year or so. I feel bad for sellers forced into a distress sale to pay a bill or something.

Al Vesel · Post by **Al Vesel** » 29 Jun 2015 10:11 am

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you Keith. Not much moving at all as far as high ticket items like pedal steels here or anywhere. Everyone is just worried about the economy, as they should be. Hopefully this economic downturn won't last long. But, honestly, the economic forecaster's don't seem too optimistic. Let's just pray that it turns around.

What is the difference in the changer? as compared to a LII

Henry Matthews · Post by **Henry Matthews** » 2 Jul 2015 11:56 am

I don't have a picture handy but the II is a standard cut-tail changer like most guitars and the SKH is a comb type that resembles a Sho-Bud but much heavier built I think.

Found one, this is a SKH changer:

Thanks Henry that making sense to me now,

Allen Howington · Post by **Allen Howington** » 2 Jul 2015 4:07 pm

NOTE: The only fault I find with the SKH changer is that its very hard to install the string "circle-end" onto the changer post. They are really embedded down inside the changer. But they sound KILLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR.

Billy McCombs · Post by **Billy McCombs** » 2 Jul 2015 5:21 pm

Allen take a pair of cheap tweezers, sand the sides down so they will fit down it to the changer. It will hold the ball end on the pin as you tighten the string. I put a set on my SKH last night and it works great. Thanks to my friend Larry Petree here in Buckerfield ca.

Allen Howington · Post by **Allen Howington** » 2 Jul 2015 6:10 pm

Thanks, good idea, I'll try that. I have been just using a short screwdriver, just letting it slide down and block it on the peg. However, nothing works good in the dark---you MUST have a light handy on stage with you. Thanks again for the idea, certainly will try it.

Al Risbeck · Post by **Al Risbeck** » 2 Jul 2015 8:22 pm

Allen I took an old style two piece clothes pin, shortened it to the right thiÃ§kness, then grooved it to slip over the ball end wedging it so the ball can't come off until the string is sung then take it out to tune it.
