Steel Guitar Club

[Martin R]

Any Albuquerque or Santa Fe members, preferably with a pedal steel?

 

[SatelliteOrders]

Occurred to me that I hadn't posted a pic of my lap steel yet.

And now I have.

 

[Bobb2]

Just found this little group. Can I play too?

Fender 1954 Studio Deluxe

Here is my 1954 Studio Deluxe. I love it! I'm also very bad at it!! Just blues runs for me at the moment and it only features in two songs the band I'm in play live. But I really do enjoy playing it. And at 49 years old - its good to have an instrument where I can sit down and play!

Owner of a Rittenberry pedal steel since 2008.
Love playing pedal steel guitar.

I posted this in "finely Finished", so in case anyone missed it..
I finished my Dynalap Kit. Sounds good and plays good.
I pretty happy with how well it turned out!

Sure wish these were still available.

My '61 Supro......

 

[Mightyaxeman]

This is my current favorite but my d8 string master is always out and ready to play.

 

[telex76]

Got this 8 string Morrell a little while ago. Having lots of fun learning. It sounds pretty good for a lower price steel.

Count me in:

1937 Epiphone Electar (C6 Tuning) and mid-1960s Magnatone (E tuning)

Just found this thread! I'll start small;
Monkey Wards Airline Rocket (Valco), and '39? Gibson D-7. An obvious custom-ordered guitar.

Here's a different kinda "Plexi." Late Forties Orpheum. Plexiglass everywhere! And, there are two lightbulbs inside it. Yes! It lights up! 120 volts just sittin' on your lap!

 

[jmiles]

The "Bottleneck Sisters."
A 1935 Dobro M-32, and a 1937 Regal-made Dobro(sweetest-sounding reso I've ever heard!) Both round neck guitars.

 

[jmiles]

1967 ShoBud S-10, 6 pedals, 2 levers. It's currently in an extended Low Bass G Bottleneck tuning. Fun! And my favorite, a dead mint '74 ShoBud S-10, 3 pedals, 6 levers. Abdo-lutely looks brand new! Case too.

 

[jmiles]

A group shot of the older guitars. The '67 rack and barrel in front, the '59 ShoBud Permanent in the middle, and the 63? ShoBud Fingertip in the rear.

 

[jmiles]

My incredible workhorse! Early to Mid-Eighties Kline Keyless Universal 12 string. Everything about it is stunning! Design, machining, quality are as good as it gets.

 

[jmiles]

Oops! Almost forgot this one. Lapsteel Tele, with a Lapdancer Redneck, squareneck conversion neck. Ancient Barden in the bridge. Hot Rails.

 

[Paul in Colorado]

I had a Rickenbacher like the OP's only it was battleship grey. I guess it was post-war.

My main lap steel is a '47 National New Yorker tuned in open E. I also have a Harmony acoustic from the '60's with a raised nut and a Lace Sensor soundhole pickup in C6.

What I really want is double eight National console. I've messed with PSG, but I'm not dedicated enough to master it. I can screw around on lap steel and get away with it.
