I was wondering who currently owns some of the pedal steel guitars that were previously owned/played by John Hughey, Hal Rugg, Gary Hogue, Buddy Emmons, Jimmy Day, etc. It would also be cool to see a picture of the guitar along with the history! Thanks in advance!

I know who owns one of Curley Chalker's steels. However, i don't want to mention his name out of respect for his privacy.

My buddy and steel teacher told me back around 1987 or so that while he was playing for Little David Wilkins, Little David owned the black emmons that John Hughey cut all those Conway Twitty songs on. I was told told he later sold it for an unbelievably low sum, under a $1000 if I recall. Not sure if that's true or not.

Here's a spin on this thread: Did anyone out there ever own my PSG? 1976 ShoBud LDG, Serial Number 11132, inspected by D. Marrs in September 1976.

Hogue's sister called me a year or so regarding Gary'66 PP. Gary had two PP's when he died,in addition to the 66 he had another which I think was a 71.

Gary left the 66 to his oldest son,the 71 to the younger son ( from a later marriage ,if I remember correctly)

The older son needed some money and borrwed it from Gary'sister. He was unable to repay the money ,She called me and asked if I would be interested in buying it,A deal I jumped on very quickly.

This witout a doubt was the best sounding steel guitar I ever heard. 8& 7 if I recall. I plugged my old guitar up in the living room and ask my wife if she could pick out the PP as I would swap from guitar to guitar or some times fake. Absolutely 100% of the time she guessed right out of about 10 or twelve tries. Absolutely looked and played like new,still does.
Stupid me I sold the guitar because I did not think I had the smarts to work on if it need work on the underside. A

Now here's some exiting news for you PP shoppers . I sold the steel and took a Webb amp, a deal I have always regretted. Jerry Newberry,also known as Austin Stewart,s Grandfather has the guitar. Not long ago he ask if I would be interested in buying it back,at my age I decided to stick with my Legrande.

Hurry,if many people read this post Newberry,s phone will be ringing off the hook.

The old blonde Emmons pictured under my name used to be Hal's also. I bought it from his good friend Mark Tulbert years ago.
It's still got the chart and instructions Fred Trogden wrote for Hal in the case.

Hi, Louie, it was a 1976 Emmons that Nikki kept back for Elliott (Gary's youngest son). Sent you a PM with the story about that guitar. Smile

Jay,

Any idea as to what well-known songs Hal may have used this guitar to record??

By the way, I'd like to see some pictures of John Hughey's old guitars if anyone out there has one and would like to post a picture. Thanks.

Come to think of it, I have a great picture of John Hughey and Mike Johnson sitting down and playing on my Emmons PP. I'll try to load some pics...

Junior,

I'd say any guitar you own or once owned would be in the category of a famous guitar! Hope to see you at the Steel Guitar Show in Dallas soon!
