Steel Guitar Buyer's Guide

Guideline #7

Focus on Attention to Details.

---

"Attention to the smallest details is how you build value into a steel guitar. You can hear the difference. You can feel it, too. Sometimes, it doesn't even take that much more time to get it exactly right. Another thirty minutes or an hour at a certain point, and it's a much more playable steel guitar."

Attention to details by the builder makes the instrument more playable as it comes from the factory. Small details such as lining up the pull rods and pull bars are of great consequence.

Properly lined-up pull bars and pull rods ensure that the steel guitar will play properly and that no binding will occur. Binding can cause problems with a string's ability to return accurately to pitch after being pulled.

This process is more time-consuming. However, it's the only way to get it right.
