Hello. I'm new to this forum and am desperate to know more about the mustang steel.

I saw the one on ebay and would have liked it as I already own one. I have had it for 13 years and I know that Jim Cairnes from Middlesbrough made the pick up and I also own a telecaster with a Jim Cairnes neck. What I don't know is who built the pedal steel, so if anyone knows, I would be very grateful if you could tell me. They are a very solid guitar and mine stays in tune really well. No cabinet drop. Standard emmons pedal config (unlike the ebay one). I think that the one on ebay went for 490 plus postage. Good value I think, especially with a good flight case.

Hope to hear back.

Thanks.

Martyn.

apologies for the username - first thing that came into my head.

Hi Mustang steels were built by a gentleman by the name of Clayton Moore, from Middlesborough. I had one of the first ones he made.Also i visited him at his home ,to get some knee levers changed. He was a very clever man as i remember. Regards.Derek.

Thanks Derek. Much appreciated. Yes, so I believe. I got some good info from forum members about the mustang and it's Middlesbrough origins. Regards. Martyn.
