Show us your Sunburst(s)

Post by Jack Hanson »

After perusing the "Steel Guitars For Sale" section, I was impressed by two beautiful sunburst PSGs recently listed, Rick Vizzi's stunning Williams:

Anyone else have a sunburst pedal steel that they're willing to share with the Forum? Here's "Li'l Sunny," my '73 Emmons GS-10 sunburst, which I find infinitely more attractive than the usual "bowling ball" 'mica applied to most of the Emmons student model guitars:

I've gotta say - I'm liking the two tone sunbursts more than the three or more colour jobs

Since six string guitars are included, here's a parts Tele I put together a few years ago. It has EMG pickups, plays and sounds great.

I also have a nice Brian Moore.

Ok, if we are doing guitars too .. Here's my home-built Charvel San Dimas 'tribute'. It's got a 1" fat neck with compound radius for country-style playing, not your typical Charvel shredder
