Hey Gary,

I've downloaded several of your recordings for road trip music. This is the best one yet! As my mother used to say, "Stay outside and play."

Jimmy,

Here's a thread with a picture of the guitar I think Erv is talking about. Nice job. As you noted, on your early guitar with the Charlie Christian style pickups, the sockets have to be much ...

are there any other Elton John songs that feature pedal steel? I can't think of any but I don't know his catalog all that well

Gordon Huntley plays a nice 8 bar pedal solo on "Country Comfor ...

Nice guitar, nice pickup, nice playing!

Are you planning to do anything about the crack going across the bottom of the guitar? The reason I ask is because I have a pre-war B6 with a similar crack b ...

I'm headed out the door but if you can wait till tomorrow for payment, I'll take 'em.

I'll take the 5751 tube. I'll PM my address to figure shipping.

Edit: Let's add the knobs to that.

Judging from the case, that's an early 60's Champ. I did a search on Reverb for "Fender champ lap steel" and then selected "sold" listings from the filters. See if this link works ...

What was the original scale? String spacing at the nut and bridge? Someone else please buy this. Smile

Thanks for looking. Smile

Sold on another site. Please close.

Thanks for posting that catalog page Russ. So, at least for that year, they called the single neck Deluxe 8 a String Master guitar. Interesting that they chose a picture of the discontinued 26" ...

Sounds pretty awesome, even played with a finger slide. I'm guessing that's a real horseshoe pickup and not the fake magnets you sometimes encounter. Get yourself a solid bullet bar, you'll love it ev ...

One last bump before listing elsewhere.

I'm definitely interested in the Cerberus. Power supply? Any recent updates? I'll pm my email address for a picture but I'll take your word for it that it's in good condition. Thanks.

Yeah, initially I thought the pickups looked a bit like Guyatones but after looking at pictures of a bunch those, they're not exactly like that. All the hardware on the bridge end of the body seems to ...

It looks like a Japanese copy of a long scale (26") Fender Stringmaster. Never seen one like it. What's the scale length? Is the pot US or Japanese? Are those lollipop tuners like the Fenders? ...

Still for sale. Looks like shipping will be somewhere between $35 and $55 in the lower 48, depending on how far you are from PA. USPS ground.

Very sad. I've learned quite a bit (all good stuff) from his participation in this community. R.I.P.

Me too, Pete. So sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to his family.

Bump for a great affordable vintage lap steel.

Fantastic and really nicely done! More pics if you get a chance. Are the necks reasonably balanced or is that not really an issue for you?

Good luck and have fun!

Good sounding guitar with original DeArmond hershey bar pickup. Both pots work fine (after letting the shafts soak with LPS lube/cleaner). Very cool original crackle finish. 23" scale. Probably ...

If that's a picture of your guitar, it looks like someone has already replaced the original tuner pans with a later model version. Yes, the replacement Klusons should work although you may have to r ...

I think Willie's devotion to Baldwin amps mainly has to do with the rare Baldwin Prismatone pickup that he had mounted on Trigger after his Baldwin guitar was stepped on by a drunk. The preamp for tha ...

Worked for me too. I wonder if that's what they do if you're using an ad-blocker. They'll let you read it if you're willing to sift through all the ads.

Richard,
