Rittenberry SD 10 3x5 pedal steel guitar
Submitted by steve on Mon, 2008-06-30 18:49.
This is my latest musical goal: learn how to play a pedal steel guitar.
I bought a used Rittenberry SD 10.
It was built in 2007, right here in the USA by Gary Rittenberry.
The wood is hard rock maple ( 13 years old )
The pickup is a Wallace True Tone.
I play with a BJS steel bar and use my POD X3L for effects ( very little)
My current amp is an Atomic Reactor 112-50.
Its a very popular amp for guitarists who play through modelers.
It has three floor pedals and five knee levers.
Using the floor pedals and knee levers allows you to
produce various chord inversions.
