My search for a guitar in my price range has, so far been unsuccessful. I thought I had a Stageone cornered but it turns out that they're very elusive creatures.
If anyone has a Stageone that they bought with all intentions of learning but didn't quite make it I'd be interested in taking it off your hands.
I have a pre approved mortgage (my wife gave me permission) so I'm good to go when one pops up.
I can't be without a guitar for too long because, at my age, I'll forget everything that I've learned over the last year.
But seriously though. If you has a Stageone that you'd like to sell I'm ready. _________________ I don't know much but what I know I know very well.

Good luck with your search Charlie. One was just listed here Sun. for $1000. You have to be vigilant. Hopefully someone selling will see your post before they list it.
I see you have posted about it over in Wanted to Buy. |

Have you contacted Doug to see how long a wait for a new one? There's not a huge price difference between a good used and brand new. You might wind up the proud first owner, and can choose the color you'd like as well!
(BTW it's two words - "Stage One") |

Doug isn't taking orders right now and probably won't be until the end of the year. I sold the steel I had and I'm "steelless" until I find another one. _________________ I don't know much but what I know I know very well.

Spending Canadian dollars this make it almost $2000 by the time it gets here (exchange, shipping and local taxes). I had one on the line a couple of days ago but it got away. It was a 2016 for $1100. _________________ I don't know much but what I know I know very well.

Stage Ones were $1100 brand new last year. I wonder why this used one is going for $1350? |

Most of Al's stuff is listed on his site and he has the same problem as I have. He buys in Canadian dollars too and he has to make a profit which I don't. I like a Stage One because I'm not fooling myself into thinking that I'm ever going to be a great player and a Stage One would fulfill my needs for a steel for my life time. _________________ I don't know much but what I know I know very well.

Lloyd Green made a career out of playing an E9 3x4, not terribly different from a Stage One. |

Yeah I am afraid he's gonna have a lot of trouble selling it for what he's asking _________________ Pre RP Mullen D10 8/7, Zum 3/4, Carter S-10 3/4, previous Cougar SD-10 3/4 & GFI S-10 3/4, Fender Steel King, 2 Peavey Session 500's, Peavey Nashville 400, Boss DD-3, Profex-II, Hilton Digital Sustain, '88 Les Paul Custom,Epiphone MBIBG J-45, Fender Strat & Tele's, Takamine acoustics, Marshall amps, Boss effects, Ibanez Tube Screamer, and it all started with an old cranky worn out Kay acoustic you could slide a Mack truck between the strings and fretboard on!! |

Haven't had any luck finding anything. I'm looking in the $1000 - $1200 range for and S10 3 X 4. Put in a couple of offers but nothing has come of it yet.
Paying in Canadian dollars is a pain in the a$$. _________________ I don't know much but what I know I know very well.

If you were willing to go $1500 - $2000, things would open up a little for you. GFI SM10 3x4 is $1450 US, from Sam Ash. |

I just sold a GFI S-10 SM 3 X 2 for a lot less than Sam Ash is charging for them. It was a nice little steel. Maybe I should have kept it. I intended to buy a Stage One but production is down for now. _________________ I don't know much but what I know I know very well.

Simmons is. I'm not sure about Carpsteel. A Carpsteel comes up occasionally on the forum or ebay. _________________ I don't know much but what I know I know very well.

Charlie, I have never seen a Simmons, so I can't comment on them. But one of our members, Calvin Walley, has one and said he likes it.
I did see a Carpsteel, and it's a nice little guitar.
Perhaps you should get one of these. _________________ Please visit my web site and Soundcloud page and listen to the music posted there.
