Thanks! Interesting steel. Anybody- Didn’t he play the short scale (22 1/2”) ones as well? I know very little about Mr Byrd, or his instruments.

Do you know what the scale length is on this?

Hey y’all, just a heads up. Scott from Steeltronics just worked with me on getting his Z (ZB) style pickup in my Maple laquer MSA Classic, replacing the original Supersustain humbucker.
It sounds ...

I’ve got a maple laquer s10 made around the same time! Serial number 1C5618
It’s a tank, but has served me well. Finally getting around to changing out the pickup to get a little more top end out ...

I’m sure this has been covered a lot, so apologies in advance.

Which pedal steels have the widest string spacing? Is it the old Shobuds?

Hi there! Traveling to Hawaii for the first time this spring, Maui specifically. Anyone know where to catch some music while I’m there? Obviously steel guitar is a plus, but I’d dig anything Hawai ...

No worries!

Is this still available?

Thanks fellas!

I see how to access the credits now for the future as well...

Love all the playing, especially the wester swing flavored stuff.

Hey, anybody know who all played on those Randy Travis albums? Any of em really, but Old 8x10 especially. Just listened to Influences .2 tonight as well...

Thanks!

I'm just over in Boise, Idaho. We could meet halfway, say around Lincoln, NE? By my math I'd have the longer haul, but I don't mind. Wink

Good luck on the sale, she's a beaut!

I am leaving a comment because I liked the TAB that John sent for this. Thanks John!
Looking forward to playing it!

Fred, yup I agree. Nothings black and white. It's a matter of being able to control if/when I want to keep the back of the finger clear of the next string. I was just saying FOR ME, I've been feeling ...

Dick,
Thanks, and much appreciated! I agree that there is seldom if ever one right way for the picking hand to go about things. But I do like seeing what some people gravitate toward. Especially wit ...

Hi Dick,

DO you have right hand picking suggestions for this?

That E lower is the next split I've found myself going for unconciously while using BC. It's pretty in tune as is, but not great.

I need to call Mr. Rudolph at Williams about another thin ...

Dave, sounds very similar to some adjustments I've been making. In one position I've been trying I feel like my body's slightly tilted towards the left,my volume pedal leg is pretty squared up, and th ...

Great stuff Dave and Chris!
Why do you think it is that so many people line up at, or around the 15th fret?
If you were to drift to the left of that, what would you notice?

Iâ€™m sure that many feel this topic has been â€œover-doneâ€, and I know thereâ€™s just too many ways of getting it done to state any absolutes, and every change in your set up will ...

Did you get my message?

What is the string spacing on these? Is it parallel from nut to bridge? Beautiful stuff!
