How Many Non-Pedal Steel Guitars Do You Have?

Alan Brookes · Post by **Alan Brookes** » 15 Oct 2014 3:39 pm

Including those that you play, those that you have stored away, those that you have out on loan to other people, and those that have in bits being worked on, how many non-pedal steel guitars do you have?

Include Lap Steels and Console Steels, but restrict this to electric instruments that you play through an amplifier and EXCLUDE RESONATOR GUITARS and ACOUSTIC HAWAIIAN GUITARS.

Don't count guitars that you've borrowed from someone else, or other people's guitars that you have in your possession while you work on them.

Currently... I think I have 6 or 7, but in the past I've had up to 20, never less than 5. For teaching I need a 6 string, an 8 string, a 10 string, and it helps to have multinecks with various tunings.

23 that I'm aware of...Yikes

(It's been awhile since I've counted them all.)
Thanks for bring this to my attention, Alan.

Probably time to start thinning the herd a bit.

Then have him ship it to a friend in the U.S., and have the friend send it on. I've done that for people over in Britain from time to time, as I have both English and American bank accounts. I don't have a Canadian bank account.

7, including the one I just finished building, but not the next one I am already building in my head, and that I have already gathered most of the hardware for.

I had five until I donated one to Audie Shields in Nashville and it is a ThielSteel. So now it's four.

Which poll should I use for Weissenborn type guitars?
Acoustic Hawaiians are EXCLUDED in both polls?

I have over ten but play pretty much one...I am seeking professional help for this

Pay attention because the person with the most guitars "WINS". And no stretching the truth! What's the prize? Currently,- I have 3, including my mint
Fender Dual 6, Dual Pro 6 or whatever the experts decided to call it in recent posts.

I can really only play one at a time... but It's so hard to choose!
