Here’s something truly special from the heart of Nashville. The Alden 10-String Pedal Steel is a boutique-quality instrument hand-built by local luthier Clay Alden, whose work is quickly gaining recognition for its exceptional tone and meticulous craftsmanship. Built from solid hard maple and featuring a 24 1/4” scale length, this steel offers both durability and tonal clarity that players love.
Equipped with a standard 3 pedal and 4 knee lever configuration, it delivers the classic Nashville setup with modern flexibility. The 10-string all-pull system features triple raise and triple lower capabilities, offering precise tuning and smooth action across a wide range of musical expression. Grover tuners provide rock-solid stability, while brushed aluminum end plates, key head, knee levers, changer fingers, and inlays add durability and a clean, professional aesthetic.
Comfort and playability are also top priorities: adjustable knee spacing and pedal height, along with an integrated hand rest, ensure a personalized and ergonomic playing experience. At its core is the Clay Alden 18.5k single-coil pickup—hand-wound in-house to match the voice of the instrument, delivering everything from warm, expressive swells to sharp, articulate picking.
Handcrafted in Nashville with locally sourced materials, this is a serious instrument for serious players—and it comes complete with a protective case.
