Speaking of craftmanship, it's not of a top notch quality but comparing with five Deluxe 8s made in various times I set my hands on, there's not much notable difference. Sound wise her twin pickups produces variety of tone, mostly darker than Deluxe 8, but fuller and richer suitable for a kind of Hawaiian music, not for swing. But in all fairness, at least the S8 I purchased recently at the price of one third of Fender Deluxe 8 is not bad at all. I'm not a big fan of Guyatone nor do I speakįrom a comradeship. students could've made a much better one.& one that wasn't so damn cheesey. I just rolled my eyes & thought RIDICULOUS!!! It was a terrible commercial for the college that was professionally done.at the time, us t.v. At one point, they use that very same line. When I was in college I had some friends that "starred" in a commercial for the college. Now Casey, from what I hear, you're outstanding in your field! For being a fairly good sized state & fairly rural, you'd be amazed at the lack of steel players. Honestly though, just find a steel guitar in Kansas is hard enough.let alone finding a really good one. I wish they were closer to a Stringmaster. I admit that I bought my double neck because it looked quite alot like a Stringmaster, was in REALLY good shape & was cheap. Indeed George!!! Like I posted above, they are cosmetically similar.but tone & craftsmanship wise, they are a world apart. Make sure you have the longest auction length you can & have good pictures & I'm sure it will be a popular item.īit of an exageration to compare a Guyatone to a Stringmaster ! JMHO. I'd almost guarantee you'll get $200 out of it. Thanks to Ebay, the market for lapsteels has gone crazy. I'm sure that you'll get a decent price out of it. If I can get $275 or $300, I'll have broken even. I plan on rushing it over to ebay and try and get $300 out if it to recoup some the loss I incurred in dealing with the music store in question. actually, NO one is a worse non peddler than me, so I won't be playing this Guyatone.I learned on pedals and am useless without them. I hope you enjoy your Guyatone.they are alright if'n you get a good deal on one.Ĭarter-Starter, Fender Pedal 800, Fender Champion, Guyatone Double-neck, a cheap Artisan & a Homemade Double-neck! My Guyatone is getting ready for a new paint-job. However, an old cheaply made steel is still a cheaply made steel.but they do sell good on Ebay!!!Ĭompared to the one on Ebay, I got one hell of a deal. Not the best tone or craftsmanship.but they do have that good old vintage vibe. smetically similar to a Fender.& a world apart in tone & craftsmanship. They are gettin' higher & higher priced.they are o.k.

Slide bar for fender champion lap steel plus#
Last month, one just like it sold for $585 plus shipping & had 16 bids.the bids appeared to be on the up & up too!!! I have a double-neck 8-string Guyatone that is a Stringmaster copy. That's how much most of the single neck Guyatones go for nowadays on Ebay.

I've seen a few on ebay in the past year and they always seem to go for at least twice your $200.įrom: A cow pasture in NorthWest Kansas!!! These steels were a pretty good Japanese imitation of the Fender Stringmaster. I doubt I'll keep it as i don't play non pedal, but I would like at least a vague idea of what I have on my hands. So I had them ship it out to me for the $200 credit that I had coming.ĭid I do good or did I lose?. I got it because I was owed $200 in store credit, and this is the ONLY thing in the store I had ANY interest in at all. I know its not a Fender or Gibson, but any thoughts on value of this steel?. It has tripod legs I believe, and if I remember correctly is exceptionally clean. I have a very clean Guyatone 6 string,2 pickup steel on the way here.
