Insulated Covers

Post by Melody Freeman »

Hi, when I have played my wooden, not mica, pedal steel guitar at a gig, I don’t normally put it in the cases. I leave it all set up, and put it in a vehicle that I can get it in and out of. Any ideas of an insulated cover that works in the cold winter weather, to avoid cracks in the finish?

Is something like you are searching for?
It has a Naga-Hide cover, For water proofing, Plush lining and several layers of quilt filler in it. It was made for a MSA S10 which is now calls home southern Illinois.
I built 1 also for a GFI S12. To take to close jams and gigs.
It takes an upholstery sewing machine to sew the heavy materials in the cover.

Hi Bobby,

That might be a good cover to get.
Do you make those?

Sorry, I am covered up with work for a while.
If you find someone, I would talk with them on the layout and build.
