For those of you who get the chance to try one of these guitars do so you will not be dissappointed. I bought one a few months ago and can`t find enough good things to say about it. Before buying this guitar I was a Push Pull fanatic. Don`t be put off by the looks of the guitar it`s good to be different. As far as tone goes with the right amp. settings this guitar can be as mellow as you want it to be.

IMHO, GFI's are WONDERFUL. http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum5/HTML/003851.html http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum5/HTML/004152.html [This message was edited by Rex Thomas on 05 October 2002 at 11:43 AM.]

Hi Allan,

I Love my new GFI. I'm new to playing the steel, but I've been playing in bands with steels for 25 years now. I was a diehard Emmons guy. The band I play guitar for played in KY last weekend. I compared the tone from our players Emmons LegrandeII to my GFI. I was really surprised. My GFI had much better tone than the Emmons.

See ya,

I think Ronnie Miller gets a killer tone out of his GFI(s). He's playing a new keyless that he said is knocking him out tonewise...

I had much the opposite experience when I was able to compare a new Emmons LeGrande III and a GFI at a local steel dealer earlier this year. As I stated in a previous thread "The Emmons sounded like a hot Krispy Kreme and the GFI sounded like a stale Zesta".
