Thanks so much John - appreciate the input!

I'm slowly returning back to the music scene after the Covid lockdown hiatus. Most of my prior background was in event bands covering mostly top 40 rock standards with perhaps 20% country.

I have ...

Right on. I've wanted this change also.

Timely thread!

Depending on the fret you are at, to play a scale, sometimes you need the D next to the Eb, other times you need a C# next to a D#.

So, you gain nothing substantial by connecting them, imo., and lo ...

Makes sense! In fact, about an hour after my post, while searching the topic some more, someone pointed me to a video on Jeff Newman's right hand alpha course, and I watched it and learned something I ...

I have an e906 that I miked my six string cabinet when playing halls. (My steel playing was bar-band and the PA was vocal support only)

The e906 has a 3 position selector: enhance highs (=609 ish ...

Looking forward to the rest of the experiment - particularly the adaptation to the new grips required.

Red (wine?) Emmons is a good look

Old MSA Steel guitars are a good hedge against inflation.

I seem to recall there are different tapers even within the logarithmic taper group.

Great craftsmanship! Enjoy!

Hard to miss the 50% inflation though.

Same guitar would be $2500-$2700 now - about what a D10 was worth 3 years ago.

Do you split the whole tone lower of it with a half tone raise on opposite leg?

The changer is quite interesting. Looks like the fingers pull the string and the rest of the bridge are rollers. Hard to tell with certainty from the pics though.

Steel guitars have never been more perfect.

My gearlust is with a Jackson and Emmons. The ReSound people have done an amazing job - some of the finest YouTube examples are ReSounds. The one Mike ...

Pedal steel seems more amenable to Hammond organ style rhythmic technique than guitar style strumming..

Putting a vertical knee on an old MSA is a pretty easy project, if you have pics. I'd simply fill out your coped in the standard way by buying the parts.

Congrats!

Mail order or local?

Everything else has gone up, I didn't quit buying eggs just because they almost doubled in price! Eveybody complains about fuel, but we still need to drive. If I need some tubes, I'll just have to pay ...

AES shows JJ's in stock!

At what prices?

I don’t know about AES, but I paid normal prices for all the tubes I got recently. No ridiculous price gouging or marking up. I was stoked!

The tube ...

They can be found - just not in the conventional go to places - and you can't be fussy on brand.

I have a bunch of used tubes I will be working through until the world goes back to normal.

If you show us underside and tuning end plate pics we can see how the guitar was set up.

Normally the "5th lever" which is called the X lever or LKV (left knee vertical) has s5 and s10 tu ...

Shame Frenchy never sold his string business to keep the silent string concept alive. Those were darn good strings.

I will confess that my 'tailored' left-leg levers work very nicely for me when my foot is anchored on my 2nd and 3rd pedals (Day = B/A). If I have to engage my 1st and 2nd pedals, though, all that sy ...
