Desert Rose Steel Guitars

Post by Les Pierce »

Anybody going to the Dallas show, stop by the Desert Rose Steel Guitar booth, and tell Chuck Back "Hello" for me, please.

I sure wanted to be there to finally meet Chuck after all these years, and check out this new line of steels he's making. Looks like a fine instrument from the picture he sent me, and I'm sure a lot of heart and soul went into the making of it.

If you get a chance to pick on one, give us report on it. I, for one, would sure enjoy hearing all about it.

Thanks, and take care,

Les

I just won the Desert Rose guitar that was on Ebay for $650. which is what they sell for. If I hadn't won I was going to purchase one from Chuck Back anyway because it looks like its the best entry level guitar for the money anywhere bar-none. It looks like its upgradeable to four pedals and five knee levers. That will keep me busy for a long time.
