The Steel Guitar Forum

hi,

i'm looking for a pedal steel guitar that would suit a rookie like myself. i lamost made a deal with a carter starter but somehow i'd like to take a different route. the starter is probably a very nice guitar however all my instruments tend to be on the vintage side so why not the steel too. has anyone for sale a nice S10 or even D10 that could suit me. it should stay in tune and be fairly easy to play. i guess modern steels are easier than older push-pulls but i do like the 60's and 70's tone better. curly chalker is my absolute favourite. i really love his sound. but as we all know sound comes from the player not the instrument. but if anyone's got a bud or an msa or an emmons in the 1000$ region and is willing to part with it please contact me. i am based in helsinki finland but i can arrange shipping from florida so that won't be a problem. thank you for your time and happy trails, segu

that didn't mean i wouldn't consider newer models as well. it's just that my budget is limited to a certain extent... so, if anyone's got a S10 lying around that needs to be played please contact. thanks, segu
