Hi Dan,

That's a great looking steel guitar!

I have been playing BMI steels since 1981 and everyone of them have been great instruments.

My 14 stringer is my favorite BMI.

This model looks great, sounds great and at a great price for a pedal steel.

good work! a lighter cheaper guitar that still looks right! much more price appropriate than some other 'economy' models being offered.

will a 12 string possibility be offered in the same format?

We will have a 12 string version coming up. Most of the market is geared to 10 string.

Thanks,

I have some questions.

1- Will the scale length be 24 or 245and 1/4 inches?

2- Instead of a double lower changer, would you consider a triple lower, and if not, can a raise be converted to a lower with one of Tom Bradshaw's conversion devises, even though they were designed to fit an MSA? (I ask because I have 3 lowers on one string.)

and finally, some time back you said you were working designing on an acoustic PSG. Do you still plan to build such and instrument, or have you abandoned the idea?

Mike,

1. Scale is 24 1/8
2. At this time we only put out Triple Raise/ Double Lower. On our Push Pull models they are Quad Raise and Quad Lower, have been for about 30 years.
3. Still waiting on Mark Giles, he is the one doing the assembly. Having said that, Jackson guitars built one, but the volume wasn't enough to really make a difference. Just waiting on Mark now.

Thanks,
Dan
