I realized the tune I was referring to that Hughey aces is titled "Hand Picked" off the Highway Call album.

So sad. I think of his tune Blue Sky and how Iconic the guitar jams are in the middle. I think I can hum both guitar leads start to finish. It's like a symphony....and Hughey's break on Highway Call i ...

Those pullers look like Fessenden. I know he sold quite a few to individual builders.

I sold the late Bobby Seymore (sp?) a double neck Bigsby about 12 years ago, The "Bob Meadows" guitar.
Anybody know where that wound up?

Very steel centric record and formative country rock. Craig Fuller singer/songwriter/guitarist got his career ripped out from under him. About the time “Amie” came out, Craig was dodging the vietn ...

Good to know. I'm on my fourth steel guitar cover over the years. Seems it's something I leave at a gig.

I used to do a Tiny Dancer cover in a band I was in. I since do it solo as a PSG instrumental. I worked out that intro piano riff and theme verbatim. It sounds great on the PSG.

Atlanta seems to be a hotbed of scam artists. I got scammed on a car purchase from a guy there - car never showed up. I'm too embarrassed to say how much I lost.

Thanks for the validation Joe. I have a top loaded 22.5" scale home made lap steel I'm considering changing to through body to see if it affects the tone (which I'm not too happy with)

Roger, I have that Neuman style universal setup. I often use that raise of a step and half up to D to get the 7th on the bottom. - alot. I have it on RKR.

That first PPL album was a benchmark for me. J Call's break on Harmony Song is iconic.

Yeh, speaking of scale lengths - I'm a fan of the telecaster
guitar. There's a few discussions about string through vs top loading Teles and how the top loaders feel slinkier. I point out the total s ...

Sam, I appreciate your sarcasm about my hage. ha!

Thanks Everybody.

Michael, I'll take your trophy wife off your hands.

How about a reduced subset of the Jeff Neuman Universal tuning? Add changes that you usually see on pedal 5,6,and 7, leaving out the Booowah on pedal 8. That will play 90% of the C6 intervals. If that ...

Lower it and play C6 sounding stuff (in B6) - universal concept.

I've been a SIT guy myself. Considering changing though. They sent me a set whereby one of the wound strings was only wound for half the length of the string. I have e-mailed them twice. No response. ...

Here's another tune my friend Mark Legrand wrote.

I forgot about all those players!

Don Brown - Wow, loved the Jeff Baxter Ventures clip.

I can think of two at the moment.
Both recorded with Steely Dan, Jeff Skunk Baxter and Dean Parks.
