When I got my G2 SD12 back in 2018 I had a tough time finding a temperament on the Peterson tuner that worked for me. Could be because my style is mostly 3 & 4 note chords and not many single not ...

Plus is there a cooler picture in pedal steel guitar history than Buddy playing in front of the Grateful Dead's wall of sound.

Wow, bass lap steel...that's quite an instrument! Never seen one of those before Whoa!

He's got nothing on John Paul Jones' level of multi instrumental talent but that's pretty cool. I guess I wasn't imagining having heard some PSG on Zepp tunes.

Agreed. JPJ was really the glue that ...

Wow...so he played it live as well? Do you know where/when this shot was taken?

I always laugh that it was Jerry who was my Dire Wolf and cost me a ton of money on pedal steels Laughing

Hey all,

My wife got me this great "Led Zeppelin - All the Songs" book (well, great if you like Led Zep Winking

OK, I get now how the LK tuning works. Thanks!

Of course one of the strengths of the Fender 400 is the ability to easily change copedents. While it does have a 1 raise/1 lower per string design limitation there are ways to get around that (fo ...

This is a 23" scale. My understanding is the early blond 400's were 24.5" and around 1962/63 Fender went to the sunburst finish, roller bridge & 23" scale.

Hey all,

Decided to thin the herd and sell my Fender 400. So a few years ago I bought 2 Fender 400's and used the best parts of each to build this one (I kept the underneath hardware from the othe ...

Sure, I originally came up with this odd tuning that was based on stacked 7th chords:

Now, if you have this hardware, as in this 2021 G2, this is a very positive half-stop. It can be purchased and added. The string 2 + 9 method is ingenious but for some people it can difficult to get ...

"Slider Steel Lap Guitar w/Case" Winking

Look at the neck and figure out by fret markers or if necessary stick or lay something on the neck to mark the 8th string location as a base to put picks on right strings.

I actually took a thick ...

If you plan on never buying another guitar I would go with 4 floor pedals and 5 knee levers. This would allow you to duplicate a lot of the sounds you hear on modern recordings and allow you to exper ...
