I didn't see this posted around here, so I thought I'd pass along the info.
Herb Remington just released this a few weeks ago.
http://www.remingtonsteelguitars.com/video.html
I purchased his New Limited Edition Steelmaster Signature Series - Single 8.
http://www.remingtonsteelguitars.com/sigseries.html
This is my first Steel. As many of you, I learned to play serveral instruments over the years, but never got up the nerve to take on the Steel. I'm an old man now, so it's time.
This ax is a killer! I may not be great on it yet,, but I know enough to get right to the tone and I like what this thing has. I got a the Nashville 112 and run the pre-amp out to a Peavey KB 100 pre amp in. whoo Stereo! I get this harmony stuff down and I can forget the B3 
I copied this from Herb's site to give you heads up:
----------------------------------------------------------
TABLATURE
NEW!! "Herb Plays, You Play" FunTab I play-along CD!!
Twenty tunes - accompanies Fun Tab I arrangements for A6/C6 tunings. Herb introduces each tune, calls the key, tempo and time signature. Then Herb plays the melody and guides you through each section while you follow the tab. Each tune is followed by the play-along track minus Herb's melody. Herb also plays the chord backing and bass on his steel guitar.
"In short, the new Herb Remington CD has taken my playing to a new level." Morgan Scoggins - Snellville, Ga read full text

I called Herb recently: His number is here:

--I asked him about the Accompaniment CD to Fun Tabs 2.
He said if the FunTab I play-along CD does well he'll proceed.
I loaded up these songs in the Ableton LIVE Digital Studio.
Slowed em down, sped them up.
In case you're wondering, I do not work for Herb.
He is fun to talk to on the phone though.
What a treasure this stuff is. |

He is a nice guy to talk to in person also. Super helpful and friendly, generous with his time and an all round gentleman in my book.

Gary,
Congrats on your first steel--I must say the Signature model is quite an instrument to start on, and I'm sure it's helping you play way better than starting on an inferior instrument.
Eventually I'm looking to upgrade my Remi D8 to the signature model--and briefly went through a phase where I thought I could get rid of my Double Neck and get by with just a single neck instrument...IMPOSSIBLE, once you get accustomed to two tunings in front of you, especially in a live situation, it spoils you!
I use C6 on my near neck and A6/B11 on the far away one.
The following link features an in-depth video article devoted to the Remi D8 double neck--including live sound clips and a link to Herb's non pedal guitar page.
Best of luck with your playing,
Josh
