Remington Pro SD-10 Pedal Steel Guitar Sustainmaster 2012 - Maple Blue Mica

Remington Sustainmaster pedal steel guitars are highly respected, boutique instruments custom-built in Houston, Texas, by legendary steel guitarist Herb Remington. Known for their professional-grade mechanics and incredible natural sustain, these instruments were built from the late 20th century until Herb Remington's passing in 2018. 

• Herb Remington's Legacy: Before becoming a builder, Herb Remington was an International Steel Guitar Hall of Fame inductee who played with Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. His deep understanding of the instrument heavily influenced the design and functionality of his guitars. 
• The  Sustainmaster line designates his true mechanical pedal steel guitars. 
• Build Quality: The instruments frequently featured beautiful ash wood cabinets, professional-grade chrome hardware, and robust undercarriage parts. The craftsmanship and engineering features are among the finest ever designed for modern pedal steel guitars! This guitar features a stunning maple cabinet with beautiful abilon trim!

Mechanical Features and Customization

• Configurations: Remington built these to order, meaning you will find them in a variety of configurations. Standard models include the SD-10 (Single Neck, 10 strings), D-10 (Double Neck, 10 strings), and even 12-string Extended E9 models. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Pedals and Knee Levers: Custom builds varied wildly depending on player preference. Some models feature a standard "3 pedals and 4 knee levers" (3x4) setup, while premium custom orders boast expansive configurations like 9 pedals and 7 knee levers. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• The Copedent: This guitar features the standard Emmons pedal setup, though Remingtons can easily also accommodate custom set ups!
• Electronics: Most Sustainmasters were built using premium George L's pickups (like the E-66 humbucker), This guitar delivers a loud, punchy, and traditional country/western swing tone. 

Reputation Among Players

• Stays in Tune: Owners and players frequently note that the mechanical changer system is exceptionally reliable, allowing the guitar to stay in tune remarkably well despite aggressive pedal and lever changes.
• Incredible Sustain: True to its name, the guitar is praised for its smooth, singing sustain and flawless note transitions. 
• Rarity: Because they were hand-built in limited quantities by Herb and a small team (including builder Bobby Bowman), they are relatively rare on the used market. When they appear on sites like Reverb, they are considered highly collectible player's instruments And tend to sell very quickly!
