What's Your Main Pedal Steel?

Post by b0b »

Some of us have multiple pedal steel guitars. Some of us have only one. If your main brand isn't in the list, select "other" and then post a reply telling us what it is.

For ease of final tabulation, please don't post a reply unless you've selected "Other" in the poll. Thanks.

Note that you must be logged in to vote.

This poll will run for 15 days. Should be interesting...

I just have my Dekley Naugahyde, as I call it now. When I get the licks up I'll go for something more, but it's fine for what I'm doing now.

Of course, if I had a real gig that paid, say, $100, that would be incentive to get something more 'pro'.

But for now, it's just the jams and learning.

Mine would be the Kline U-12. I can't believe Kline is not listed above. In my personal opinion it is the best guitar I have ever sat behind. I tried all the keyless this last year except the Whitney and none came close to the feel or tone of my current guitar. I wish Joe still made them. My only complaint is the tuning screws for the pedals get a little loose on the threads throughout the years of turning them.
