Oh boy, that is beautiful! Love the wood you used and the design. Tom Pettingill would have loved what you did. What scale and what tuning. That pup will be killer for growling blues.

Prayers for Bob and his family.

Thanks to him for the SGF and the invaluable educational tool it is for the community.

Just beautiful, outstanding work Bill. Kudos! I like how you kept the aesthetics of the Panda and Audiovox in your builds but then added your own customizations. Very much how Tom Pettingill was wi ...

Wow.....some stellar playing there. Thanks for the listen.

Since you kind of nixed the Xotic EP Booster, allow me to send in a vote for the Xotic AC Plus. You can get them on Reverb.com. Absolutely, outstanding clean boost that you can dirty up if you want. ...

Man, you are just so SCARY talented.

I have both the Ceramic Poncha and Stone Element tone bars. Outstanding bars for tone and playability.

For anyone interested, The Dude v2 sounds so great with lap steel. Stacks extremely well with Klon type pedals too! I’m using it with the ARC Effects Klone.

Looks like it could double as an avant-garde version of a crossbow!

I just love Larkin Poe. Such a talented band. I believe that she sporadically dabbles in Open D.

Congrats on your score......of a Pettingill.

I am fortunate to have 4 of his "babies".

Lo-to-Hi...G-B-D-F#-A-D

Good job! You did well not to speed it up. I have a Fouke steel too. Great sustain.

Bill, just wonderful work with your steel. Very aesthetically pleasing. Tom P. would have loved it.

Congrats on a job well done.

Love the Audiovox body and idea of that Lollar pickup.

That pickup really growls when pushed.

Tom Pettingill and I had bantered about basing a steel off the Audiovox body.

Looking forward to ...

Tom built 4 lap steels for me....all 001 models.

So nice to hear from you again Mr. Kerr. I always enjoyed your playing and the accompanying picture show.

Wow.......just great stuff as usual Steve.

Damn, some mighty fine playing!

Open E?

Would love to hear you do a version of Sacred Steel playing on that Supro.

Great stuff Bill. Nice playing.

So neat that you are trampling in NEW territory.

Kind of partial these days to the MojoHand Iron Bell and the Wampler Velvet Fuzz. I use them for mild-moderate fuzz in conjunction with the sustain from the Barber Tone Press compressor.

So sorry for your loss Donna. Thanks for sharing your well-written story about Tommy's fight and struggle.

The TP gives a real nice singing sustain with a gentle compression of your notes. Not really a "squash" type compression.
