Guys, I've had many PSGs and am getting a Dekley shortly.
Can anyone remind me if it is tuned (nylons) the same as an all-pull Emmons or is it other?
Thanks
JB

It's an all-pull guitar.

Hi John,
My first steel was a Dekley S12 I bought from Bobbie Seymour. I think you'll be pleased once you get yours.
A little on the heavy side but a very well built pro level guitar.

Lonnie,
This will actually be my 2nd Dekley as I bought my first one new back in the very early 80s, (S-10 Slimline) but that's been so long ago I couldn't remember much about it. Since then I've been through most brands. I just realized I can't be without a steel of some sort so I found a good deal on this old fella, and as I recall they're built like tanks and weigh about as much, but that'll be good for when I get the urge to play or record. I will probably need to add a vert lever tho, got spoiled. Hope all is well with you Brother. I'll throw up a pic or 2 when it gets here
JB
