    Yep. I don't know if Quilter still makes that rack-mounted Steelaire. A lot of the forum guys drool over that thing.

    The steel is a GFI SM-10 3x4 (3 pedal, 4 lever model). SM is for Student Model. The Peterson Strobostomp is really cool in that it has specific tuning modes for steel and also for the pedals. You can change the colors to make is easier to read in different environments and you can set colors for each tuning to make it easier to find them. I usually hate having so many choices, but these are easy to scroll through the menus. It is also helping me in making sure I hit the correct spot with the bar.

    Why can't we all just get along...,. Playing guitar, I use my middle and ring finger a lot and most pedal players use a thumb and first two fingers. My ring finger keeps getting in the way. And getting used to those finger picks is going to take some time. But after repurposing an electric guitar string, I'm off and running. You not only tune the strings but then you have to essentially tune the pedals and knee levers. I'm taking copious notes of this process. As far as an amp, I've already decided the Blues Jr is more than a good enough amp for me while I learn. Next purchase. Peterson strobe pedal and probably a dedicated seat to keep all of the shit in and is the correct height.

    I don't know what steel guitar roadies are paid, but in my car experience of tuning this thing, it ain't enough. I'm glad he sent an extra set of strings because I already broke one,. LOWERING it.

    Not a replaced leg ya fuckin' dummy. It's a leveler. 10 mins to set up.

    Let's see if I can put this bitch together. 3rd pic had me scared that I was going to have to put strings on it as well. Thankfully that is not the case. Kind of disappointed that one of the legs appears to be a replacement but I'll deal with that later. He left the cheat stickers on.... And I plan to add more.

    Yep. Current status. Looks like it will be closer to 4:15.... Unless......unless I hopped in my pickup and tracked her down.

    I'll let Roger Fisher steer a guitar driven song.

    Those fuckers stole a buddy's Les Paul in 1981 from a bar in Amarillo. Still a great song.

    NGD! I'm all giddy and shit.

    Roland amps are uses a lot. I haven't seen those Line 6s mentioned but they are a 1/2 to 1/3 of a lot cheaper than the Peaveys are. Roland Cubes are touted as a good practice amp and a lot apparently play them live. This is a Vega 400 for really cheap, but they are cheap because they are fucking heavy. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=382527

    Yes she did.

    Thanks for the optimism. I will have to have a guitar handy while learning this as I try to translate some stuff and I'm hoping that the steel (those steel guys call them PSG for pedal steel guitars) will improve my guitar playing by helping me better visualize which notes are changing to actually change from say a C to a C7. I know that change isn't that difficult but when you can change a I to a IV by just changing 2 notes (using two pedals), it is already helping my understanding of the guitar. (I wish I has taken piano when I was a kid)

    I read somewhere that the Fender Steel king was a Bandmaster with an expanded EQ added.

    They have caused the price of those old 80s Peavey amps to skyrocket. Several of the guys on the Steel Guitar Forum and YT say the Boss Katana 100 makes a great practice amp but I'm just going to use my Blues Jr until I'm sure I can play this thing without poking my eyes out or stabbing myself in the leg with one of those knee levers. Ultimately, I like the SS idea just because of the weight. But again, Why not both.

    I'm obviously way too excited about this. Already looking at steel amps and those cool pack seats and learning all of this steel lingo and acronyms. I'm currently reclaiming space in the former DMZ of our basement from my wife.

    On simple songs, it is easy to add in chords and stay out of the way and sound very good. I'm going to practice at home for a month, then take it up to a local open mic night, set it up and sit in with everyone who will let me. I figure that is the best way to get better. Any I-IV-V song is easy. I was worried about all the pedals and levers. 3 pedals, volume pedal and 4 knee levers. My lesson was "Find the root on the 8th string. Pick these three string or these three. Push down the two left pedals at the same spot. That's the IV, Move up two frets with the pedals still down. That's the V. To make a minor, find the note on 8th string and use the first pedal. Good luck." I asked him what the 1 and 10th string did. He said, "They are bad. Stay away". Now, to get really good would take a TON of work. I'm not sure I have that much time left on earth, but I haven't been this excited about music since I got my Shaggy Screamer.

    I can't play anything else I have...why worry about that now. Actually had a 5 minute lesson, then played for an hour and LOVED it. It arrived Monday.

    Ok boys and girls. We are getting a new guitar. One smartass comment from the wife about the number of guitars I have, combined with her ordering a new chair we don't need...... It has kickass horse shoe fret markers.

    Difference between a violin and a fiddle. You can spill beer on a fiddle.

    So happy for you @Macanudo.
