There is a very informative article about this talented musician printed in the August 2007 issue of Vintage Guitar...it's worth the price of the issue.

For many decades on end, Roy was the "first call" session player in NYC for tenor banjo and steel guitar, until the 5 string banjo and pedal steel began replacing the earlier instruments...

i think that's an 8 string hawaiian guitar and in an unusual tuning. Beautiful sound

I played with a guy years ago who played a Roy Smeck model electric guitar. We always wondered who Roy was. This is fantastic to finally see and hear him. What a player!!!
