Last year I purchased the remaining original steel guitar parts—including aluminum patterns, dies, jigs, pickup patterns, vintage spools of copper pickup wire, pickup magnets, the blade pickup pattern, fingerboards, knobs, endplates, endplate handles, pedal components, and more—that were built and used by Paul A. Bigsby in his steel guitars. From the late '40s through early '60s, these were the same components in the steel guitars used by Western Swing and Country musicians such as Joaquin Murphy, Vance Terry, Speedy West, and Bud Isaacs.

As with my Resonator Guitars, I will only be using the best materials. The woods are high figure Birdseye and Curly Maple, and I'm also using the finest hand-polished cast aluminum parts.

I am now offering double 8-string and triple 8-string steel guitars with wood or aluminum necks. I also offer 10-string necks and pedals, and I'll be making a single neck lap guitar.
