Is W.C. still involved with Steelseats, or did he sell out? He made me a set of split cases for a Sho Bud Pro III several years ago and did a great job. Soon after, he quit building cases and started building seats. I haven't seen him in several years, I hope he is doing well.

Darvin,
Thom Beeman bought the company from Mr. Edgar and, as far as I know, he is no longer involved in the business.

I have one of WC's seats that is a few years old and the one unique feature I really enjoyed was the removable accessory tray. This feature made it much simpler to locate things on dark stages because the tray could be carried separately into better lighting.... It is my understanding that the new models have stationary compartments similar to others being manufactured. (Please correct me if I am wrong.)

Thom Beeman · Post by **Thom Beeman** » 14 Jun 2007 4:10 pm

David, please send me pictures of your seat and inside compartment, I haven't seen one with the removable tray. When I took over the company from WC he was making the stationary divider. We have the divider in with two angle braces so it can be moved to accomodate each persons needs. We have also put light grey coverings inside so you can find things on a darkened stage.
WC is no longer involved in the seat business. He has signed a recording contract and his first CD has been released, and he's getting ready for a years tour. If you've never heard him sing your in for a pleasant surprise.

Fantastic seat and Thom is top of the line. My seat is about 4 years old, used for both practice and 3 to 6 gigs a week and still is just like new.

Stu, your playing one of the finest guitars out there today. I also have a Desert Rose, Chuck Back is a super builder, monster player and great guy.

Stu Schulman · Post by **Stu Schulman** » 15 Jun 2007 2:30 pm

Thom,I don't really deserve the guitar that I have,I own the first D-10 that Chuck built...It's the most amazing guitar that I've ever owned.I was wondering if you are the guy that I met in Mesa..set-up near Desert Rose display?

Thom Beeman · Post by **Thom Beeman** » 15 Jun 2007 4:02 pm

Stu, If it was a good meet, Yep it was me.

If not I don't know who it was.

I remember, Chuck introduced us.

Thom..Very cool! It was you.I look forward to getting one of those wonderful seats.Stu

Hey Stu,
I have one of WC's seats (got one of his last batch...) and I like it real well. It's on the heavy side but it's real roomy and real comfortable. Besides, I had it done in fake tooled leather - how can you beat that?

Jon,Howz it going?I was gonna buy one at Mesa but Dragging it back on the plane wasn't something that I was looking forward to,it was hard enough trying to get me thru security!Jon are you coming up this summer?

Jon Hyde · Post by **Jon Hyde** » 16 Jun 2007 8:59 pm

Stu, I still don't have Anchorage on my itinerary. You can bet when I get back up there I'll look you up. Hopefully I'll get to hear you play again when I do get there. I want to see your Desert Rose and your Dekely!

Jim, I sent you two, I got them back from the post office saying wrong address. I sent the third one to James M. to give to you. Get after the lad.

I had the pleasure of meeting Thom at Dallas this year, great guy and top quality seats.I got mine from W.C. a couple of years ago and wish I had got it years before, top quality! I can recommend them to anyone knowing that Thom is producing the same high quality and superb service.Mine has been admired by a lot of players over here in thr UK and Europe.
