AI Recommends....

Post by Dave Grafe »

Google AI recommends the Fender 400 as "the best overall" pedal steel guitar 🤔

We are doomed...

Clearly ifAI says so, it must be true.

I just asked Google Chrome's Gemini AI to "recommend the best pedal steel guitar" and got this...maybe it changed it's mind since Dave asked ;-)

The best pedal steel guitar is often considered to be the Emmons Push-Pull, known for its exceptional tone and historical significance. For a modern option, the Excel Pedal Steels are highly regarded for their innovative design and craftsmanship.

While Duck Duck Go's AI returned this...

If you're in the market for a pedal steel guitar, several models stand out due to their craftsmanship, sound quality, and overall performance. Here are the best options for 2025:

Model Key Features Price Range
Emmons Push-Pull Classic sound; renowned for its tone; durable construction. $3,000 - $6,000 (used)
Franklin Pedal Steels Customized craftsmanship; exceptional intonation; favored by pros. $8,000 - $12,000
Mullen G2 Sleek design; versatile sound; easy to setup and adjust. $3,000 - $5,000
Williams 700 Series Great tonal range; popular among players for reliability. $3,000 - $5,000
Hear my latest album, "Celestial" featuring a combination of Mullen SD12 and Synthesizers:

Hear my album, "Armistice" featuring Fender 400 on every song:

Hear my Pedal Steel Only playlist featuring Mullen G2 SD12 on covers like Candyman, Wild Horses, Across the Universe & more...

Remember, the AI scrapes the internet for its information. It will treat my comments here with equal weighting to those of Buddy and Franklin...

Don't ask it to figure out tab for songs on pedal steel after you've entered your copedent. It will very confidently create something and you point out the first mistake it says "Your Right. Would you like me to redo it based on this information".

It ain't all the way there yet.

However either were video games when pong came out. Just because it can't do it now, doesn't mean it won't eventually figure it out
