Every time I go looking for Nothing, I always find it.
Sometimes I even find it when I'm NOT looking for it.

Alan, you might be right __ I had not considered it. Since our neighbor's dogs relieve themselves on our front lawn (not with ultra-high frequency) but, still quite frequently, I might consider mounti ...

...been looking for NOTHING ever since this thread started __ just figured it out.
There's NOTHING here!

Different point of view:
I see the hat as making you country, not the steel guitar.

...long gone Chris __ offer was too tempting. Smile

My first PP had red flocking. I always hated that.

If your left and right channels are identical, you don't have stereo, you have two-point mono....no revelation there!

Work well doing what?
Chris, obviously stereo sound (to me) would be producing two separate, complementary sounds to the right and left of the listener. Question

Thanks Chris.
Seemingly a stereo steel guitar could be made to work well.
Top six strings and bottom six amplified separately would seem the right approach.

That's like asking whether the bugle would be more popular if no-one had put a slide on it and invented the trombone. Both instruments are now used. When you invent new instruments you don't scrap a ...

I thought from another of your posts that you liked straight steels, not pedal steels?
Indeed, I do like non-pedal steel guitar best; but I own and play pedal steel guitar.

The pedal steel is more popular and more versatile than the pedal harp. Very Happy

Does anyone know if that route from Salt Lake City to Denver by Rio Grande is still operating?

All this B.S. reminds me of M.S. (more of the same) and PhD (pile hip deep)

When practicing slants, if at first it seems you have the angle about right, give the angle a "tad" more toward the extreme __ you will be closer to being "on the note".
