Sierra S10

Post by Lonnie Wells »

I picked up a little S10 Sierra recently. I've owned many different steels and brands over the years but this is first Sierra.
Very impressed with the design and features. Pedal and knee lever action is smooth and precise and sounds great.
Currently 3 pedals and 4 knees. I may add another pedal or knee if I can find the parts.
Are there any vendors that may still have some Sierra parts?

I believe Jim Palenscar at Steel Guitars of North County, CA is THE resource for the older Sierras.

In my opinion best model of that generation. Solid stops which the early version of the later Session models lost.
Only thing missing on these guitars was a split tune option which on a 3R/2L changer doesn't take a third pull rod.

Buddy Emmons like those for C6th, I read.

Enjoy!... J-D.
