The Steel Guitar Forum

Well for me, I'd say way too many! But as TG Shepherd says in his ole song. . . ."I love em everyone"



And I mean't to say in my title
"How many STEELS do you have"<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Nick Reed on 11 November 2006 at 10:10 AM.]</p></FONT>

Nice collection. Really! My only suggestion is to wear a tuxedo and a top hat when posing with such a dynamite array!
I've got two singlenecks. A ZB and a Sho~Bud.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Henry Nagle on 11 November 2006 at 09:27 AM.]</p></FONT>

Man, Nick... what DO you do for a living? I can only afford one at a time!

------------------
Mikey D...

I don't know what Nick does for a living, but I bet it isn't playing steel!

How many do I have? Not as many as Nick....

RR

....and I know Nick must have a real job, 'cause he's been able to afford some furniture, too.

Nick be careful , if you get a few more Steels you may end up LOOKING like Bobbe Seymore !

t

Just three...still looking for a way to "sneak" one more in the house without mamma knowing!!

BTW Nick, Those are some beauties that you have there!!<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Larry Robbins on 11 November 2006 at 06:04 AM.]</p></FONT>

WOW...look at Nick!
Sweet collection, I think he likes the Emmons steels.
I have a bunch of stringed instruments, multiple 6 string guitars, but only one steel.
My grandmother used to say "You can't dance at 2 weddings with only one tuchas"
Ask Jimbeaux for a translation of tuchas. <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Bo Borland on 11 November 2006 at 06:21 AM.]</p></FONT>

I only have three steels

------------------
My playing sounds more like it did before than it does now

I have 5 steels, a triple 8 neck National, a Supro double 6 string.
I love them all.
I also would like to add to my collection.
Bill

Larry,
Your collection is quite impressive, especially that black "Bud"!

Just two, CLR,S12.5+5, MSA,S12.5+4


Bill

Larry,
I have 1 more Bud I could sneak to you for the right money. I'm with Tommy White on the Black one too.

For openers:
11 Emmons push/pulls
2 Emmons Legrande II
2 Rains

So much for the pedal models.

Now for the non/pedal consoles:

1 D-8 Stringmaster
1 single Stringmaster
3 Fender Customs; single, double and triple
2 Gibson Console Grandes, sunburst & natural
1 Richenbacher D-8

1 Rickenbacher post war bakelite
1 Jerry Byrd 8 string fry pan (authentic)
1 Gibson Century
1 Oahu

And now for the regular guitars, basses, ukes, mandolin, autoharp, banjo. No, I think I'll drop these on you later!

Erv, is there room in your house for your wife?, what does she think about all those steels?.

Erv, what! __ no Fender 1000. You disappoint me.

Your steel guitar "portfolio" is very impressive.

Gotta stay away from those garage sales

Forget Nick,

What does *Erv* do for a living?


bob

Well its been a while since I bragged on my MSA's, so here's the picture of three of them. I have a Superslide that's not shown. I also have a Williams, a Fessenden, and a '75 Emmons black lacquer P/P. As it has been already mentioned, there's no way I could afford all this if I played music full time. I have to have the day job designing ditch diggers.



Then theres the guitars, here's part of that collection:


Then there's the amps, and here's part of that collection.

Question: How many do any or us actually NEED?

Answer: Just one more Honey. This is the last one I swear it.

Warning: I have a telecaster and I'm not afraid to use it.

Just one. If I showed up with another steel, I would be in the "Home For Unwed Fathers".

Unfortunately, my day job doesn't let me own that many toys. <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Mike Ester on 11 November 2006 at 09:28 AM.]</p></FONT><font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Mike Ester on 11 November 2006 at 09:29 AM.]</p></FONT><font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Mike Ester on 11 November 2006 at 09:29 AM.]</p></FONT>

Hey Nick... How many of your guitars have the same knee lever arrangement? Not counting the Fender, of course.

Henry,
They all have the same knees with the standard (4), however the black S-10 & the rosewood D-10 both have an additional 5th verticak knee that lowers the b's on the E9th neck. Somebody asked, oh yes I do like Emmons guitars!

You guys need medical help quick....seems to be a lot of G.A.S. going around!!!

I have only one PSG, a Fender/Sho-Bud 3+1, but I have some parts and plan on building a few.

As far as the question posted;

Question: How many do any or us actually NEED?

Well, I have a good number of 6 string guitars, and I like having a selection to choose from for differant sounds but, I would gladly trade all but one good guitar for the chance to be playing everynight for a living again.
