Thx for the link…….I’ll give it a listen. I saw RR playing at an outdoor concert about 4 years ago & he tore it up.

That's an excellent clip that I've seen before, but deserves to be highlighted again. Inspiring playing by both Aubrey and Robert. Thanks.

Is Aubrey’s steel a custom Sho-Bud from the factory, or aftermarket? Or is it a Bud in logo only? At any rate, it sounds just incredible! His touch and tone is unreal.

Hello Marc Jenkins, not sure if its custom built or not. Last I heard another sacred steeler, Corey Smith, bought it from Aubrey many years ago. Ghent has a special touch no matter what steel he is playing, love his style.

Thanks Del Ray, I’m sure he could play literally any steel and sound like gold!
