Thomas pedal steel let's see yours

Post by Johnie King »

I would like too
Have some history on this beautiful Thomas steel I think it's been on the forum for sale section in the past.
It's truly a work of industrial art.

Any pictures of your Thomas steels or history of Mr Thomas himself would be appreciated.
Thanks

As I recall being told, Thomas was a successful engineer who delighted in building pedal steels to a very high standard in his well-equipped shop. It was never intended to be a business, just a hobby, and I don't think he built many.

Others will know more, I'm sure.

According to Barry himself he has over 200 different styles pedal steel guitars all over the USA and other countries! He is almost ready to start building them again! Stay tuned!
