Found this on Facebook. James Burton on a Rickenbacker pedal steel. I’ve never seen one before.

It looks like the same shoot. I’m betting someone on here knows about these guitars.

Didn't our host Bob Lee have a Ric with pedals??.. I could be wrong but I thought he or someone else around here had one and it wasn't too good a player.. I know they did make some pedal steels.. No knees most likely, and I think 8 strings..

That would depend entirely on who was playing it. Cool

James did play some pedal steel, but Ricky did not.
