From George L's Company

Post by Bill Ferguson »

The good folks at George L's asked me to post this for the steel guitar world.

" Kimberly and Leesa Lewis with saddened hearts announce that George L's will no longer manufacture the steel guitar pickups and are also discontinuing the string line. However they will be continuing on with the cable and plugs line of the business. With over 30 international distributors and countless dealers in the US our cable line growing by the day."

I will remain a George L's dealer for the finest instrument cable in the world, IMHO.

Can't get much sweeter.

I am very sad to hear this since all my lapsteels are built with George L pickups. I will have to experiment with other manufacturer's pickups if I want to continue making my own instruments! :oops:

I was told about the pickups by someone from GFI, as they no longer are using George L's pickups.

Last time I was at their shop in Madison it was mentioned most of their business was in the "rock world".
GFI Ultra Keyless S-10 with pad (Black of course) TB202 amp, Hilton VP, Steelers Choice sidekick seat, SIT Strings (all for sale as package)
Cakewalk by Bandlab and Studio One V4.6 pro DAWs, MOTU Ultralite MK5 recording interface unit
