New Eagle Pedal Steel Guitar Kit

Post by Dick Miller »

I put this new kit guitar together and I love it! It was easy to build and it plays great and sounds amazing! I got it from Jimmie Hudson and when I had any questions he was always happy to help me though the build.

I have built quite a few pedal steels and I must say this guitar is as good as anything I have ever played! Here is a link to a you tube video of my first sound test: https://youtu.be/zUZwKb7Xngo?si=1NPahKrbc-2mi1Op

Looks pretty good Dick. Good job with the build. Sounds fine too. I know you used to build some 6 stringers so you know something about them.

I'm working with Jimmie now about getting into one of these. He has been really great with communication and details. Left a number and he called back right away, busy as he must be.

I'm excited to see how the assembly goes. I'm a pretty good mechanic so I should be up to it. Just have to be patient, observant and follow his instructions.

Nice looking product.

The Eagle was introduced as a joint effort between Jimmie Hudson and Richard Miller.

Dick Miller, would you also be the Richard Miller who was involved in the design? And the Dick Miller who made the Bethel and Miller guitars? You also play very well!

Just curious.

Don't mean to be a buttinsky, I guess Dick can speak for himself, but I'll leave this here for now.

No this is not the same Dick Miller that built the Bethel, Fessenden etc. guitar bodies for others Doug. Dick passed away in 2002 from sudden heart failure.

The Dick Miler here is from Indiana and has built several basic 6 string pedal steels over the years.
