The Steel Guitar Forum

Hello all, hopefully this does not offend anyone. If so i apologize. I have been playing lap for about a year, im in massachusetts which isnt exactly the land of pedal or lap steels.

My teacher happens to be a great pedal steel player, among other things. Well ive wanted a pedal for a long time, im hoping to pick one up, but ive been saving for quite awhile even working a second job and as usual stuff happens, house gets hit by lightning, car dies etc, so at this point im thinking its now or ill probably never see one.

So heres my wanted, im looking for a pedal steel preferably a 3 foot pedal and at least 1 if not 3 or 4 knees, 8 or 10 string preferably 10, bars only no cables. nothing fancy.

im hoping to go no higher than 7 or 8 hundred dollars including shipping. I know this is a long shot, and I assure you this isnt some, scam to try to buy a pedal steel and get more money reselling it or something. will have no problems showing videos of me playing it for the next few years at least, provided you can stomach those noises.

I thought i had one as there was a msa on reverb for 750 and i emailed it right away but it sold that fast.

if something comes up, or you have something just collecting dust and would love to see someone play it with glee, think of me. I would gladly send you some beers from the brewery i work at in my second job as well.

Anyway, Thank you for reading!

Keep playing!

thank you jeremy, unfortunately the PA one is pickup only, the syracuse one would be well out of my price range after shipping and the watertown one, needs work that a good finish carpenter might be able to fix, as a bit wobbly, int he description is an understatement.lol

Good Luck Steve Let me know if it works out for you.

I would go with that GFI unless it's the SM model...then I would not...

fo all, i had one lined up that was found for me in new orleans, well it was actually in new york but thats a different story, anyway after an agreement to buy a zum steel 4 x 3 for 750, at the last second they sold it out from under our agreement and now dont return my communications. so it all fell through.

well either money changes hands or it doesn't.
