I've found that the steel guitar is a wench magnet.
Sadly, often of the same polarity of wench.
2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

Richard....I cannot believe that :lol:

Some are still intrigued as to what instrument I'm playing. A well dressed expensive looking woman came up to me at a show and asked "Is that some type of Piano??" ...I replied "Well....it has strings" ;-)

Sure, it's a magnet for wenches. Wenches who are disguised as attractive women. When the attraction becomes mutual the wenches lose their disguise. This applies only to wenches, not to true women, who are pure of heart. I am blessed to be with the real deal, and never let her forget how I feel.

Also used to be called gams. Especially in the cheap paperback detective novels.
