Steel Guitar Builder

I am currently starting my project #007. I'll give y'all one guess what nickname it's getting

Hi Dave, I am envious as usual. Those guitars of yours are second to none - always.
Would you mind telling us how much it weighs?
What scale length do you use?
How about some pics "under her skirt"? - the interesting side of a pedal steel!
Kudos again my friend!

Ron you have built a beautiful and strong pedal steel that I am sure you will be proud of owning. I predict that this will not be your last one.
I love to observe all the great talent out there!
Good luck and keep on building.

If you luck out, you might find a good used one. Do you have the old one? If so, in lieu of finding a used one, you could take the old one to a machinist and have him duplicate it - at a cost of course.

I think your work is beyond compare, your work ideas are ingenious and your end result is pure eye candy.

Maybe your 2 helpers will get some "licks" in on the finished product?

Kudos to you an a top quality product!

Dave thanks so much for your words of encouragement. Always nice to get a thumbs up from a master builder.
Wayne, thanks for looking and praising.
Mike Farmer, always nice to hear from you my friend. . Your words carry a lot of weight.

Will, thanks my friend...always nice to hear from you!

With a guitar that beautiful, you should have dressed up in a tuxedo. Richard Well....Richard, I thought I did you a huge favour by donning my Sunday best as opposed to just staying in the shop clothes. Now you want me to dress up like some penguin or something? Hm...ugly don't get any prettier in ...

Thanks Ron. I do appreciate your kind words.

Absolutely beautiful. I like the way you did the pad. I had seen a pedal steel that had a round socket for the bar storage, and something you might consider is in the space beside the keyhead, making some kind of tray for the bar and picks. By the way, my birthday is in June.... Scott, thanks you s...
