Miller Steel Guitars

Post by Bill Simmons »

Can anyone give me information about the Miller Steel Guitars? Are they a good sounding and playing guitar? What's the uncercarriage like for staying in tune etc? What would be the pros and cons of buying a Miller? What is a fair price for D-10 Millers? When did they stop making them? Thanks for your help everyone.

Bill, do a "search" at the top right of your screen and type in Miller Steel Guitar. You will find several past entries on it.

I have copies of two mid 60's Miller catalogs. They appeared to be much like Sho Buds from the same era, more fancier looks maybe, at least those pictured on the catalog. Quite expensive too. The other catalog states, that "Roger Miller ( not THE Roger Miller ) has been building steel guitars for ten years". So I guess he must have started in the late 50's. On some models he used a "sliding pick up" for tonal variations. Really pretty guitars with fancy woods.
