All GFI pedal steel guitars come from the factory equipped with SIT stainless steel strings.
Fretboards are silk screened on mylar with a non reflective finish. 24-inch scale is standard.
The pedal board and pedals are unmatched by any other model on the market today. All pedals are mounted on delrin bearings and attached to an extruded pedal board. Pedal to pedal rod connectors attach to delrin shafts on the pedals eliminating metal to metal contact. A small thumbscrew rides in a channel on the shaft to hold the rod in place. Pedal numbers are stamped on the connectors.
Knee levers are rounded for comfort. Adjustable knee lever “Wing” is standard on D-10 Right Knee Right. Knee lever stops are mounted on their own brackets to eliminate crossrod deflection. All pedal and knee lever movement is smooth and accurate. All stops are solid and positive.
Our legs are also an extrusion of 3/16″ thick aluminum wall. When assembled, the steel stands at a standard height of 26 1/4″ from floor to the bottom of the back rail. Custom heights of 1 or 2 inches taller or lower are available at no extra cost if specified at the time of order. Front legs are fixed in length while back legs can be adjusted plus or minus about 1/2 inch for leveling. This leg assembly provides greater stability at about 2/3 the weight of conventional steel legs.
“Ultra” Models additionally feature one piece key heads, deflection minimizing crossrod brackets with teflon bushings, adjustable changer springs, and an improved knee lever system.
