Another steel needing identification

Post by Marty Broussard »

This looks to be homemade. If anyone can help identify it as a manufactured guitar we’d be grateful. I’ve seen allot of steels but this one stumps me.

Yup. Looks like a homemade 11 string. Love the knee levers.

Looks like someone watched the Buck Owens show. Seen Tom Brumley's 11 string. Went to their work shop, And their dream became a reality.
