Chris, you gotta run with this. There's clearly a country song in this -- drinkin' here in Reno / 'cause there ain't no steel guitar in disco.

Most people do not realize that as late as 1955 steel guitar was fifty-plus percent of the business volume at Fender, and quite a bit at Rickenbacker too. When nonpedal steel died out and the only steelers left were serious pedal guys, almost all the business went to specialized steel vendors and Fender, Rick and Gibson basically quit selling steel guitars entirely.
