A very delicate subject………..

Our illustrious leader has passed to me the details of a lady whose husband (steelie) passed away some three years ago and she was now ready to part with the guitar.
So I decided to do for her what I have asked Dunny to do for me (in the event of my demiseL ) and that quite simply is to dispose of the equipment for the best possible price and make sure she gets every penny of the proceeds.
To that end I will be listing this stuff on Ebay but I thought I would give you guys the heads up first in case you know of anyone just starting that needs everything…
I will in due course publish on here a full account of what’s been done to assist this lady and a brother steelie J

Kit comprises of……..
Sho-Bud Pro1 1970`s in stunning deep cherry Red three pedals and two knee levers (Bob Adams has quoted £200 to manufacture and fit two more! Thank you Bob ,that’s peanuts for the job I know you would do on it!!) The guitar is in well loved condition and has a little crazing in the lacquer but very little in the way of bar dings considering its age. The high polish on the ally in particular the pedal rack shows how much this guitar was cared for.

Peavey. 212 Stereo Chorus combo amp. In immaculate condition has built in chorus and reverb, plus channel switching. It is a very versatile amp and one of the nicest Pv`s I have played.

The steel comes in a very good quality flight case that is both light and strong and it comes with everything a pro steeler could want ………. Foot volume control by Ernie ball (this one has the side loading jack sockets..perfect!) Steel Bar, Picks two tuners
One is a Seiko quartz tuner and has the off sets for 440 441 442 443 444 445. and the other is an Orion MiconChromatic tuner (in its original box) I would stress again that everything connected to this guitar has been lovingly cared for.
Two Guitar leads, some fast fret and masses of instruction material, Mel Bay.Winnie Newman etc etc.

The reason I have bought this over is because I said in this post that I would publish the results of my actions regardingMrs.Gallager and her late Husband Michael`s guitar. As I have now sold the guitar plus the odds and ends....
All I now have left is the Peavey amplifier so, when that is gone (probably via ebay) I will be able to conclude this post with the relevant facts and all can see I have done the best I could for this lady.

At least you were shown gratitude John. The last time you offered to help with a similar case you were criticised, and very unfairly so.

Well done and fair play to you.
