I love this guitar have a KLINE CUSTOM DUAL 10 PEDAL STEEL GUITAR with a broken connector piece. It's the piece that connects the Hex cross shaft with the pedal rod. I could have had it welded I think, but have misplaced it. I would really like to get that pedal going again. |

The next year I was visiting Joe Kline on the drive out, and he said, "Look at this." It was a beautiful Kline guitar that was made from pine and stained. It had strings, but no mechanism. The pedal rods all hooked into screw-eyes on the front apron. The fingerboard was painted on. It looked just fine-- from a distance. I had an inkling that a major event was to take place.
At the convention that year Jeff played his set. He was playing a Kline. Jeff finished, carried off his steel and went back to get his pack-a-seat. At which point he was accosted by Bobby Caldwell. Bobby told him how much damage the stunt with the fire extinguisher did the year before. It got into all the controls of his guitar, as well as into the body. It was not fun. And then Bobby says, "I'm still hotter than you. I can cut you at any time. I can even do it on your own guitar." The audience, knowing that Bobby is a closet steel player, went wild. So Jeff goes and bring his guitar out again-- the pine Kline, of course. Bobby sits at it, Jeff takes up Bobby's guitar, and the band launches into a fast number. Of course, Bobby can't keep up. He says to Jeff, "I can still cut you," and pulls out a snip and cuts all the strings off the guitar. Jeff is undisturbed. Bobby, exasperated, says, "I can still cut you" and goes off stage and returns with a bolt-cutter and proceeds to cut through all the pedal rods. Jeff is still undisturbed. Bobby says, "I can still cut you," and goes off-stage-- returning with a running chain saw-- and proceeds to cut the Kline in half. "
The funny part, to me was that half the audience laughed and the other half sat stunned... "He cut Jeff's guitar in half!" It was a great little play! |

|

Damir, there are certainly are many fine Klines here. I am still partial to Mr. Meese's blue lacquer.
This black formica belonged to Howard Palmer who sold it as an S-12. The photos were Howard's. It is now a 7 & 7 U-12 thanks to the work of Paul Redmond.
Howard fitted a sax case for it which is perfect but the two together still did not morph into a lightweight.

Mystery solved. With a little research and Luck, I found the name of the steel player. It is Rick Troyer. I saw a post by Rick in the Events section of the Forum about the Ohio show. I knew it had to be him. So, ask. Rick does a really great job on the show. The tone of his Kline and that little evans amp are to die for. You should go watch some of the shows on youtube. Two songs that stood out to me where, " your cheating Heart" and "Walking the floor over you", with the Great Jack Green. Rick plays both sides of the tuning. |

Late to the party. This is a 1980, the 64th Kline built by Joe. 6 &7. Fresh from the workshop of Paul Redmond, who gave her a clean bill of health & set up in a conventional Uni copedant.

Hey Pete, that looks exactly like the one in my avatar. I think I sold it 5-6 years ago to young girl (actually brokered through Rick Troyer at Hummingbird music in Ohio). I think I have the serial number somewhere,,,I'll have to look for it. The guitar was literally like new,,,not a scratch or mark anywhere. Wish I'd kept it,,,but then I wish I'd kept all of them. I really think the mica guitars (Joe agrees) have a better tone than the lacquer guitars. But I'm very happy with this old lacquer guitar of Jeff's. Proud of it's historical past,,,,LOL. |

Just looking back through the post and the serial numbers on my guitars are:
Black 3993 the 39th made
Orange 4053 the 108th made
Red 4095 the 141st made 2nd December 2006
And if 4095 was the last guitar made, only 141 guitars were made in total!
