Hi guys. Do you or any of the other steel historians have photo galleries on the net of these early guitars? I would love to see close ups of top and bottom. Also curious to see non pedal conversions with pedals.

Would that be a young Grady Martin playing that Bigsby six-string on the opposite side of the stage?

Yes, that is Grady Marti, and Bud Isaacs would usually be on the other end so two Bigsbys on the front line.

Dave Z, if you go to Bobbe Seymour's store site and look at the steel guitars for sale, and go to Fender, you will see a Shot Jackson conversion that uses the exact same parts as the first DALAND from August 1954. The pedals are the same ad those used by Don Davis in the dragsters he was building. The plunger system is the same as a DALAND. So the DALAND appears to be Shot Jackson doing what he was doing already in terms of mechanics, but applying those parts to a new ground up guitar rather than converting an existing instrument.
