My three pedals are in my second third and forth posistions. I'm getting ready to add a first pedal. I saw a picture of a steel with a longer first pedal. That would be perfect for what I'm doing. Any suggestions of where to get one or someone that can make one. I play a justice s10 pro and will be using Freds kit.

I saw that photo but I can't find it now Jeff. I'm pretty sure it was a GFI.

All I've been able to find is a photo of the Al Petty heel/toe GFI, but I know that's not the one and those pedals are extremely long.

You might contact the folks at GFI though.

Is there any reason not to ask Fred?

FWIW, here's the link to the Al Petty GFI. Those pedals are really long. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=228954&highlight=gfi+pedal

The one I saw the first was the only one longer. Maybe three inches at the most. Not something I have to have but it's a good idea. I will ask Fred before I do anything.

Excel offers a longer pedal in the far left position.

This has an interesting take on a longer pedal.

Checked the EXCEL out last night and yes, it's the one with the extra long "0" pedal which is set up as the Franklin pedal dropping 5,6 & 10. Great guitar and still new. Call 601-315-0452. Stevie Sanford is selling it for the Excel folks but he'll be taking the guitar to Nashville to Seymour's old store to leave for sale in a few days. Now is the perfect time to buy this D-10 at a great price. It's here in Seminary, MS. now. Also a pretty S-10, 4 & 5, keyless. Black mica on top and dark green mica on front is here and available. U-12 black mica Excel, new, is also here and for sale. If I had not bought a S-10 Desert Rose recently, the Black/Green S-10 would be mine. Only 25lbs. and doesn't move either. Wanna a deal on a new Excel, right now's the time to save. Stevie's good folks and will treat you right.
