I prefer to use plastic fingerpicks on my resos, because they are louder than metal picks, you can really dig in with 'em, and they don't fly off your fingers as easily as the metal ones when you do. ...

Good stuff!

Tony,

The two BR-9s pictured above both are sporting Sentell pickups. I think they sound great. Your new LS5 will almost certainly fit perfectly inside one of George's beautiful new mounting plates ...

Last week, my niece back in Minnie sent me an email and said she had just seen Stapleton. She attached a short cell phone video, and commented that when she heard the "steel pedal" she had t ...

My P90 arrived today and the OEM doghouse does not fit over it. I thought that this might be the case as the P90 is a DiMarzio Super Distortion.
If you come to find out that the polepieces on your D ...

Earth Drive when I use one. Which is seldom.

Will never forget seeing the relatively unknown Allman Brothers Blues Band (that's how they were billed) supporting John Hammond, Jr. at the long-gone Labor Temple in NE Mpls. circa '69 - '70(?). I re ...

Had no idea he made an album with John Hughey, I'll definitely have to check that out.

Highway Call is a classic. As are The Allman Brothers Band, Idlewild South, Live At The Fillmore East, Eat A Peach, Brothers And Sisters...

RIP, Mister Betts.

I have yet to find a source for the postwar ivory 481 knobs, the the brown prewar (and postwar KEH) 481 knobs are readily available -- but they're quite spendy. PM for more info.

...the knobs are the challenge.
The black metal knurled knobs that I used on the instruments pictured above are Allparts MK-0138-003.

What a wonderful instrument! You're not the Lone Ranger when it comes to your dislike of a knob on the bass side of the pickup. An alternative would be to eliminate the tone pot and plug the hole (or ...

Gibson also used the brown 481 knobs on their postwar Kalamazoo KEHs, and ivory 481s on all but the very first BR-9s.

Might be worth your while to check in with the people who publish the Guinness Book of Records.

If I were Marty I would feature him on steel on at least a couple of numbers.
Agreed. But then again, I am not Marty. (Nor is anyone else.)

I think I can name one song.
That's one more than I could name, Fred. Congratulations!

The prefix "7" would indicate 1957 production.

Those pix are fantastic! Thanks (and a big alo-ha) for sharing.

If you wanted to, you could consider the common 6-string C6 tuning (lo to hi: C-E-G-A-C-E) or 8-string tuning (lo to hi: A-C-E-G-A-C-E-G) to be Am7. Same notes; same intervals.

Lotsa bang for the buck with the Joyo JF33.

When Russ Pahl was still in the Twin Cities playing with the Sky Blue Water Boys back in the late '70s, he used an MXR unit on their showstopper Wood & Steel. I thought it sounded great.
