Nov 14, 2004 · The Carter Starter is a really fine beginner guitar! Stands in tune exactly and is easy to play. You can play with that guitar without any problems a live gig. I tried a Carter Starter for my own and that was really the best beginner steel guitar I ever had! Leila Tuttle Member . From: Wheat Ridge, Colorado, USA

Mar 17, 2013 · If you stick with steel, you might want to look at someday upgrading to a guitar set up with shorter legs and pedal-rods. That Starter is fine for now but it doesn't have any knee lever angle adjustment options, so it might not be as comfortable as a Pro-level guitar.

Jul 28, 2010 · After playing non-pedal for 40 years, I bought a Carter Farter when they first came out, as I couldn't afford the $2,000 for a real PSG. (There was no Steel Guitar Forum at that time.) It soon went back in the box, and I bought a used Sho-Bud. The difference was like night and day, and my pedal steel playing took off.

Oct 11, 2020 · I rode my Carter hard in the trenches for 13 or 14 years before the B-pedal's bones looked like the worn one in Jerry's picture above. I spent a few bucks and replaced them in no time. At that time, the A-pedal bones had another 5 years on them. And all the other pedals and knees had another 8 or 10 years.

Jul 15, 2023 · C-S intends you to use a wound 6th string. I'd guess that this is to deal with what the Carter folks (John Fabian and/or Bud Carter) found to be inadequate adjustability to achieve sync between 3 & 6. Carter pro guitars went so far as to have an entire gear-down mechanism to achieve plain 6th string sync.
