Georg,

Michael ,

The seller accepted my offer and the OEM PICKUP plate doghouse is on the way. Thanks for the tip.

Does anyone know a source for the BR-9 style knobs?

Any recommended replacement kno ...

Thanks all!

Jack, great job on those BR-9s. You have set a high bar!

Steve, that is food for thought.

Michael, I looked on eBay & Reverb and I must have missed that one. Ugh! My bad, I ...

I just rescued a 40s/50s Gibson BR-9 husk and I need the pickup plate that holds the P90 pickup. My plan is to have Pickguardian make a new pickup plate without the "dog house" over the bri ...

To be precise, it is a Mk2 Maverick with the brown shelf paper covering.

Not to be confused with the natural maple Mk1 model.

Nice job Mike! It's a great song. Lilli Passero did a great version on The Voice a few years back. And I like Brian Setzer's version as well.

A classic for sure.

Well I guess I will call her a '39 now. Good info!

Again, it isn't. The pickup was built 1940-2, and Mark has narrowed it down further to 1941.

Well, Michael Miller has ID'd it as a 38-40, that ...

I ordered it and it has never arrived. I called the seller yesterday and he said that "they took all his badges" and he thought he notified me. I am waiting on a refund (:

Thanks all!

Well I guess I will call her a '39 now. Good info!

I intentionally did not get buttons on the replacement tuners as I prefer the keystone types. I still have the originals.

Very sad. May he rest in peace.

Mike,

If you have a drill press, swap out the chuck to a 3/4" chuck and put your bar in it. Then you can polish it to your heart's content.

Humm. Just when I thought I had everything I wanted in my steel guitar arsenal, I see this. Crap.

I am glad it is $4k. Way beyond my budget. And as badly I play, Leon would not want me touching ...

I am looking for DVD versions of Jeff Newman's C6 courses. I believe that there are 4 different ones that he sold:

1. C6th Workshop 1

In case you’re not sure, Jules Ah See C13 is an 8 string tuning.

Mike, I assume this is H to L with the Bb in the bass.

Both. I have pairs of guitars tuned to C6 & A6 - 6 string and 8 string. I just added a third 6 string tuned to G6.

They all have the the same intervals:

L to H

1 3 5 6 1 3

Joe,

I was unaware of Reggie Young's version. Thanks for posting.

Hardly a week passes that I don't hear something that Reggie Young played on.

Thanks for the list!

Update: Done

The brass nut arrived from Rukavina Guitars. Ryan knocked it out of the park!

It is sold.

It had the rare Maverick knee lever but all of the coat hanger wire rods & pedals were missing.

I love Mantovani's version.

Looks like the portion of the fretboard that is nearest to the bridge has moved. The edge of the pickup that Doug mentioned is peeking out.

That should be an easy fix.

Hard to tell from the photos. Rear photos would held.

Have you fixed it?
