Here's a tune from BOB's Steel Trek album.

Did BOB use his Bigsby guitar on this recording?

BOB received his triple neck Bigsby guitar in 1953. 2-10 string necks & 1-8 string neck.

Bob White. One of the greatest, innovative steel players ever. We used to do a 5 niter about 3 times a year at a club in Ft. Smith,Ark. We would always come in a day early and visit with Bob at his club in Ft. Smith. Bob would get on stage with the band and pick a little for us. Sure miss Bob. Jody.

The album cover shows an MSA D-12 with 10 pedals and at least 5 or 6 knees.

Kind Regards, Walter
