Hey all
Im currently playing a zum encore thru a quilter steelaire amp....i love the guitar but was wondering what steel guitar would be an upgrade? I also have a GFI student model that I cut my teeth on....Price is not the biggest factor in my decision, I would just like to see what other models and makes would be an upgrade from the encore
Thanks as always |

Craig, glad you're still playing.
Your Encore pretty much has it all, unless you get an itch to play C6. I'd stick with it.

If money is not an issue, there are some excellent steels you can get. I'm partial to MSA, but there are so many others, Mullen, Jackson, Sho-pro, Justice, Fessebden, Williams, GFI, Infinity, Sierra, etc. You really can't go wrong with any of them.

I agree with John McClung, the Encore plays and sounds as good as any single neck out there. If you want to consider going to a D10 or a Universal, then that's a different story. I have an Encore and if I don't need to play any C6 on the gig, the Encore is the one I take out.
