Ed  &  Irene  Fulawka 
World Renowned
For his Steel Guitars

Ed Fulawka works out of
his two car garage in Penetanguishene, 
Ontario Canada.

 
Ed puchased his first Steel Guitar , a 10 string Gibson, in 1948. In 1949 decided to put pedals on it and designed his own push-pull system with rollers. His first design allowed for double raise and lower. Ed started to build Steel Guitars about the same time Buddy Emmons and Shot Jackson premiered the 'Sho~Bud'. When Ed saw that the Sho-Bud design was almost the same as the Fulawka guitar, he changed his design  to make sure he was not infriging on their patent. This is when he went to the rollers, and many other changes, and now other manufacturers use Ed's design. Ed says to others looking at his design, "Go ahead and use my design because when you see me next time I will have made new changes".  Ed's first custom built  Steels were bought by some of our top Canadian Steelers.  Now his Steel guitars are found all around the world. 


Scotties Steel Guitar Convention
Ed attends Scotties Steel Guitar Convention 
demonstrating his Custom built Steel Guitars.
A room is rented for Steel players to try his guitars.


EEd attends many conventions demonstrating his Steel Guitars. Pickers gather in his room and play music for hours. If the main stage is on break and you still want to hear more music, you will find lots more here. Steel players are amazed at the workmanship of his guitars and how well they play.  Ed not only is there just to sell a Steel Guitar but he enjoys being around the pickers and watching them play, but, usually when he leaves the convention, he has new orders to fill.
