I'm also playing the Saturday show. Really looking forward to seeing and hearing y'all!

How much does it weigh in the case, and how much would it cost to ship it to California?

Sidecar and Backrest.

Great playing! So tasty and perfect for that song! Is he playing a Pedabro, too, or is he just way better at slants than all the rest of us?

Sing what you play! A more advanced version of that is to learn the scale as scale steps: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 & 8 (or 1 again) and sing what you play as scale step numbers. That will connect you better ...

A feature that I love about the Model D and you didn't mention is that the strap on the coverplate that protects the bridge is removeable.

You also didn't mention that it's a really good price!

Thanks, Ian. I didn't know that, or maybe Dave told me and it went right past me without sticking. Wow. It's even better now!

I have two! One for home and one for gigs. They're the best. Be careful of putting the combo amp face down in your car on top of your steel case. When the amp slid past the edge of the steel case, I d ...

It would be nice to be able to take a listen to it.

Geez, guys. Thanks for all the nice comments.

Yes, I was at Jim's shop last December to pick up my S-12 Infinity. It's a great axe.

Here's the San Francisco debut of the Infinity:

I dropped the price from $1700 to $1600.

Here's a show I did with the Nell and Jim band that is airing on some PBS stations.

SD-12 Williams extended E9, Telonics Combo Amp, Telonics volume pedal.

If you pick it up here in Auburn, California, I'll throw in a two-hour lesson. I may or may not have the time and the wherewithal to pull the Garcia ZB out of storage and A/B the two ZBs, but that is ...

Yeah, Art. If I sell a banjo or two, I might be able to keep it.

However, even though I just sold a steel, I do have seven PSGs here at the house, and many have to spend a lot of time in their case ...

As you can see, there is checking in the finish and the overall guitar could use some general cleaning up. I sat down to clean it today and played it instead. Oops.

It has checking. Tomorrow I'll see what I can do about posting a close-up or two.

That's the sound, but I absolutely cannot guarantee you'll sound that smooth. I'm not at my steel right now, but the way he goes from 8, 6, & 5 seamlessly to 10, 8, & 6 at the end of the solo ...

With rickety student steels like the Maverick and the Carter Starter going for nearly $1000, this is so far beyond that for not that much more.

Congrats, Art. Glad you got one. Additionally, it'll be nice to have a low E on the E neck.

The serial is 0216. The two pickups have slightly different pole pieces. They're definitely ZB. The E9 pickup is very much likeâ€”if not virtually identical toâ€” the Garcia ZB, #0009, with ...

It originally belonged to Dan Tyack, who bought it at age 17 in 1971. I bought it from a mutual friend, and I'm guessing I'm the third owner. I'm sure Dan had Greg Lasser in San Francisco work on the ...
