Guit-steel

A combination standard 6-string electric guitar and steel guitar. Invented by country-western musician Junior Brown, and first fabricated by Michael Stevens in 1985. Junior Brown's needs as a musician helped to drive the inspiration for this unique instrument.

"I was playing both the steel and guitar, switching back and forth a lot while I sang, and it was kind of awkward. But then I had this dream where they just kind of melted together. When I woke up, I thought 'You know, that thing would work!' They made double-neck guitars and double-neck steels, so why not one of each?"
