Dallas more pics

[Malcolm]

Some more pics of Dallas show.Meant to add there was a new guitar on show, the ABC ( Al Brisco &Co), this guitar is a new version of the old ETS made by the late Bud Carter and the late Larry Agan.Al bought over the company and did a few changes to it, it is an aluminium body and light weight, perfect for a travelling guitar, sounds great ( as anything by Bud did).It is not the best looking steel, sort of ShowBud Maverick in looks but a high gloss paint finish in various colours.Had try at one, played extremely well and great sound, retails around $2500, see Steel guitar Canada web site for details.

No more of my ugly mug please Malcolm! I could make out Michael Yahl with the black stetson in the small hall. Did Rittenberry have any new guitars on display at all? I can see a couple of Brad Sarno's clip on units in one shot, including a Freeloader. Keep 'em coming.

Malcolm, I can't see any point to going all the way to Dallas to see Mr Bing, when I can just get in the car and pop down to Southampton and see him any day was he appearing in all the booths there?

Roy - the vendors were mourning the loss of my custom this time, so they made do with my pic instead.

Roy, I cannot claim responsibility, the culprit was Sue Haslam of Peterson.Mr Blyng was in high demand, waiting on more from US, the camera download onto my iPad did not work, most are on camera of Edie Menard from Peterson stall.We had huge amount of interest in "Ken" , as pic was titled, as word got round.
Ken, Rittenberry were no show, although there were a couple Ritts there ,one standard and one Prestige.junior knight had a "retro" look MSA Legend, with new pedal bar and logo, David right had his new Colourful MSA Legend, as is usual with David, as per usual all manufacturers had new guitars on show, Mullen, GFI, ShowPro, Star Guitars, Williams, Excel, BMI, all excellent quality guitars. As mentioned above Al Brisco had the new ABC. I was impressed by the quality of engineering on the Excel guitars, most of which were keyless, making them look very compact.Once I get download from Edie I will add some more pics.

Danny, was in GFI room, had Mike Sigler show me the Sigler Pedal, really nice guy and extremely helpful, have met him at Dallas a few times before.I got a Sigler Pedal kit from MSA at show, just got to fit it now.

Nice one Malcolm, Sigler pedal info straight from the horse's mouth! And he obviously convinced you of it's usefulness. That's your good self, Donny, Nick(O' The North East) and me all Siglerin' away

He is a fantastic picker, I've seen most of his YouTube vids since you pointed me in his direction.
