I have become obsessed with Robby Turner's playing and tone on the Sturgill Simpson record High Top Mountain.To me, it's like a weird cross between Buddy Cage and James Burton.
I've heard he plays an Webb 614-E, but anyone have any insight on EQ or effects he might be using? |

(I know none of this answers your question)
I’ve seen Sturgill a few times, and he surprisingly didn’t have a steel player in his band. HOWEVER... He doesn’t need one. The guitar player he has is unreal. Very unique, and can coax some steel-sounding licks out of his tele. He’s from Latvia or Estonia or someplace, to boot.
Side note: All you guys that put down new country (and I’m right there with you) should check out Sturgill. Whitey Morgan, too. The real stuff is coming back |

on television he was playing a show pro through a peavey, with a george l 10-1 pickup (i assume).
there's a delay on his steel on most of high top mountain, but i don't know if he added it or the engineer did. it definitely helps to thicken up his sound while letting it cut through the mix.
robby is a great example of a player with modern chops and flash who can still pull off the classic styles with some emotional depth. |

Robbie is constantly on FaceBook. Go there and ask your question. I am sure he will answer.

I agree that Sturgill's guitar player is awesome, but it's disappointing he's not touring with a steel player. Whitey does keep a steel player thank goodness. I don't know if Chris Stapleton will tour with a steel guitar player, but there's always hope. At least we will always have our saviour Cowboy Eddie Long with Jamey Johnson!! |

Caught Sturgill's show last September with Merle & Kris Kristofferson and really loved Sturgill, becoming a fan quite some time before his live show!! Would be a great act to be on the road with  |

Robby is playing a Show Pro for Chris Stapleton in this clip. Not sure what he used on Sturgill's album. I've seen both artists in the past year and neither was touring with a steel player, which was a major disappointment. Both put on great shows, but I can't help but feel a little short changed!

Robby plays great and Letterman loves steel guitar too.
