Wow!! Did anyone catch the fact that not only is that a left hand steel, but the strings are in reverse order. Smaller strings are closer to player, bigger strings further away from player! Guess it's the same person playing the strat, and carried that upside down method over to his steel. Makes my mind hurt imagining trying to play like that.

He's Bob Glidden, a lefty and extremely talented multi instrumentalist. He's one of my favorite steelers.

Yea Tim. When the Strat was shown I just thought lefty but then when the steel was shown, the way it is strung, I thought reversed camera exposure and my head was going bonkers thinking of how you play like that.

Thanks for posting Dennis it's a keeper.
