A Cautionary Tale.....

Sat Sep 15, 2018 11:18 am

Yesterday, an acquaintance related to me a very scary occurrence.
He, who shall remain nameless, is an excellent session guitarist, who has recently taken up the steel guitar & last night he was playing steel with a young band to promote their new album. During the afternoon sound check the lead guitarist from the band kept pestering he who shall remain nameless for a play on the steel. He who....etc, being a very pleasant and accommodating young soul duly let this guitarist sit down at the steel, whereupon, this bandy legged Neanderthal proceeded to break the LKL :shock:
Luckily enough, he managed to complete the gig, on a, much reduced from his 12 uni, Carter Starter.

I suppose the moral of this story is, Be Wary, or, Let No Man Pluck Thy Steel.

I should add, I'm backing this, he who shall....etc, to become a big figure in the UK, if not the world, of PSG. Mark my words.

Aforesaid outstanding guitarist phoned me yesterday in a blind panic but unfortunately I couldn't jump to his aid as my old boy is now back out of hospital so I was stuck! However I expect to see said guitar next week, damage report to follow!! :evil: :D

I have also experienced the devastation of a broken knee lever though in this case, it was my own Neanderthal genes that did the damage. Though i prefer to think that the ShoBud casting had seen better days! And Bob stepped into the breach saving the day by dispatching a new linkage. Perhaps when letting a novice at your instrument, fitting the special drawing pin on a stick version of the lever end stops would sort the problem! :D
