FUZZY PEDAL STEEL GUITAR PRODUCTS

What's New

2017.1.20

What we introduce at this time is ​the custom order, ​Superb D 10/12 using quilted maples.
The customer brought in the lumber, requested the color and specifications. The top panel was painted mahogany color, it turned out gorgeous like a lemon dropped sunburst LP std!
The special thing is that does not only look cool but also the lightweight 10 strings and the 12 string double neck, plus the pedals and the knee levers are set with high precision.
We do not usually accept the orders with maple material as a ​standard Superb but we customize to your desired specifications like this one as much as we can.

Just feel free to contact us about your desired specifications.

Happy new year!
We are Introducing the custom order, 6 strings lap steel guitar.
The characteristic of this guitar is that the front legs and the rear legs are height adjustable.
You can play by standing if you extend the legs.
If you lower the height by shortening the legs,
you can use the knee lever when sitting and playing, you can also play like a PEDAL steel.
Although the 6-string lap steel is the simplest structure among steel guitars, it has been popular instrument by using various tunings for Hawaiian, Western swing, etc. since long time ago.
Recently it is often used in overdrive sounds as rock and blues, also it has been played by standing up on live stages more often than before.

We can customize to your desired specifications.
Feel free to contact us.

2016.5.7

Introducing the basic model,Superb S10! (10 strings keyless)
We have designed customized steel from overseas.
This model is the basic specifications of E9th (3 pedals and 4 knee levers) without volume tone control or lock lever as any other options.

It is a simple basic single neck but you can see many years of experienced skills, high quality and innovative ideas everywhere in this model.
We highly recommend this model for the players who would like to start the pedal steel and of course for the experienced players as well.
Also, it is very popular model for the players who have the standard instruments already like E mmons or Sho‐Bud. That is because it is very lightweight and easy to carry for live performances.
And it is possible to install floor pedals or knee levers and to change to the 10‐string universal tuning in the future.
What a developmental remodeling!
You can enjoy this instrument for many many years.

Lightness is one of our greatest features as you can see in all our products.
We have succeeded in having amazing sound and lightweight without sacrificing qualities of the pedal steel such as resonance and sustain.

Look at this new color for the S​uperb S12.
It is two‐tone color with purple (side panel) and black (top panel) as requested by the customer.
The metallic purple color expresses dark blue from black then to purple by the lighting position, angle or in the degree of light.
It certainly shines brightly on the stage.
It is very popular to select two different colors: one for the top and the other for the side body as a two‐tone color, like the picture.

Please feel free to contact us about the color you would like or any other specifications.

Introducing our newest model, Superb S12.
(the new lock lever mechanism)
We have painted this guitar with white and black two‐tone color that is inspired by the colors of a tuxedo as requested by the customer.
(Image2 of 4 as shown below, left one of the small photos )

The special feature of this model is the lock lever for E9/C6.
This lock lever has been upgraded from E9/B6 which is the standard universal 12‐string system.
We have succeeded to make a​n innovative system which has not been seen heretofore!​
We have installed a crank into the mechanism of the knee lever so that its action also changes when you change the tuning to C6. (small photo in the middle as image 3 of 4)

The Interval (while changing the tuning by the lever), is set up with the black nuts underneath of the nylon nuts. (small photo on the right as image4 of 4)
The upper row of black nuts are set to drop the tuning and the lower row are set to tune up. So the 12 strings would be able to raise up and lower both ways.
As a result, this makes changing tuning more flexible. You don't need to be stuck in the basic E9 format. Additionally, each string can be fine tuned and can tune more severe.
(Some nuts are not attached to string #4 and #8 in the photo, because of adjustment stage before shipping.)

Particularly popular in our line­up is the Super S12 but remember, the biggest feature for this model at this time is the way to change the tuning by the lever. Again, we have upgraded E9/B6.
This model has completely achieved the C6 tuning the same as the double neck, not staying in supportive B6.

Of course, it is very lightweight. (including the case, the total is 17kg = about 37.5lb)
It is a very recommended model for experienced users who are used to using double­neck.
Order anytime.

Introducing the latest Superb S10 & Semi Hard Case

We painted it in our popular two­tone color with deep metallic green and black.
Looks cool!
We now have updated the attaching part of the floor pedal shaft. (second row of the photos)
The design structure of the attaching part was redesigned to make it easier to fine adjust the pedal angle.
Our new design allows you to remove and install it using one hand.

The semi­-hard case is lightweight and convenient too.
This case has thick cushion inside that makes it impact resistant just like the hard case.
Also included are useful items such as caster or zipper lock. We highly recommend this case to the musicians who need to take the train as transportation or who have lots of live performances.

We use pickups from Lace Co. which feature clear sound. (optional)
This guitar is made in a two­tone color with deep blue and black.
This color scheme gives the guitar a sharp, simple and clean look.

May.15.2015

Introducing our newest model. This model has a special knee lever.

This new model is able to change the tuning from the E9 to the C6 by using a knee lever instead of changing the tuning from the E9 to the B6 by a hand lever in our standard Superb model.

You can change the tuning without releasing your bar or your pick from the strings while you are playing. When changing the tuning back to the E9 from the C6, simply unlock the lever by lightly touching with your right knee.

This is an incredible idea so that now you can play using a double neck seamlessly without interrupting your musical phrase.

We can manufacture this kind of special model as well.
We are always inventing new and exciting steel guitars. We get ideas by listening to steel guitar musicians around the world.

Please feel free to contact us about the tuning you would like or any other specifications.

shown: E9

shown: changed to the C6 by knee lever

shown: adjust to tune the C6 with the black screws underneath of the nylon tuning nuts.

Mar.22.2015

Introducing our newest 2015 model of Superb pedal steel guitar.
The newest Superb has been upgraded to prevent cabinet drop from occurring.
Cabinet drop is when the body of the guitar flexes under pressure applied to the pedals and detunes a string or strings.
A traditional model has one attachment point to connect the pedal stop and the knee lever stop, but the latest model has been structured with two attachment points for the pedal stop and the knee lever stop. Refer to the second picture below for a close-up of these attachment points.
This newest model has been redesigned to prevent cabinet drop from occurring in the first place.
This model stays in tune like never before.
