Ry Cooder

Post by nick allen »

Not sure quite where to put this one... but I believe the guitar *may* have *some* pedals...

It's Mr Cooder's PA-Reissue Bigsby, built from original Bigsby parts by forumite Paul Warnik. It does have pedals, five or six I believe.

nick a-Jussi is correct-that is "P.A. Re-Issue" number 2 that Ry took delivery of at Scottys convention in 1996-it has 5 pedals-since then Ry has also gotten one of our Bigsby steel guitar pickups installed in his legendary "Cooder-caster" and he says that he just loves the sound Image He also loves those slip on Converse deck shoes with the stars on them!
