well after 22 years I bought a new steel guitar
a new Russler sd-10
to say it is an amazing steel is understatement
it is awesome steel great tone and all the stops are rock solid and lite weight as well
the cut out pedals are very fast and easy to play
and tone is monster
this is a keeper for sure

here is a pic thanks for looking Mike :D

I listened to Mike playing this guitar the day he picked it up and it has great tone. A beautiful guitar too. I love the bumble bee sticker too.

Hey Mike, I just thought I'd chime in: I got the chance in St. Louis to sit in and jam with Randy W and Russ Hicks from Russler and I must say I has very impressed with their guitars! nice tone, great pedal action and some of the most beautifully finished cabinets I have ever seen! You're gonna have a great time with that steel, Congrats!.

My New Russler Steel

Post by Gary Skelton »

Hey Mike, thanks for the great post. We at RUSSLER are very proud to have you as part of our family. I'm pretty sure when you came to my house to see my new guitar, you had no intention of buying a new horn. I like knowing that our guitars impress a player of your skill and ability to buy it, when you were perfectly happy with the guitar you were playing. Thanks again my friend.

that is true

Post by Mike Archer »

that is all true I had no intention of getting a new steel but after I played the russler I changed
my mind....I think a person should keep an open mind about steels music and life ive been guilty
of being closed minded these last few years
(I guess its an age thing im 61)
but im slowly thawing out a bit
as ive said before Gary will treat you right boys and girls get you a russler and dont look back
you will be amazed also check out the little walter amps as well

now folks I want everyone to know I am not
being given a guitar or being indorsed by russler
or anybody else these are my true feelings towards these guitars and amps Mike :D
