For my non pedal 24.5" scale steels.....

top 16 18 22 24 30 36 42 (68 or 70).

Yes, Jon, I remember a while back someone posted the problem with extended poles with a picture--I saved that for my pickup file. So, whether I get comments from Derby owners who may have installed t ...

Still looking for more Derby owner comments.

Gene--Thanks for the picture, looks like different sizes there. I'd better call or email and get the exact dimensions of the LXR-16 to be sure. Thanks.

Guys, thanks for posting. Whether it's good or bad, I found that the recessed pickup routing in my aluminum necks were cut-out to exactly fit George L's. I changed the original E-66 pickups to the S ...

I'd like to know if any Derby owners have successfully installed this pickup. Just got off the Bill Lawrence site and couldn't find the dimensions for the LXR-16 or any other pickups they have. I ha ...

Very nice high quality heavy duty workmanship there!

Is there an advantage of square legs vs. round tubular legs?

Are those compartment partitions movable/adjustable or permanent?

Thanks.

Just got an order from psgparts.com. Ordered some 32" pull rods and nylon tuners, which were shipped in a sturdy tube--he knows how to ship and I got it in 3 days. Michael is very knowledgeable ...

I don't think it's "Etched in Stone" regarding what 4 tunings should be used now or were used back in the day. I can only relate to what my steel guitar family has done--meaning my Dad and ...

OK, I just looked at the "Favorite Instrumentals of the Islands" LP--it lists "My Little Grass Shack", not "My Little Brown Gal"--so, I was wrong on that. Have you figur ...

Get on youtube, listen to both of them and figure it out!

Jerry, thanks so much for your help! On that LAMB switch, I like the idea of the LONGER BAT. Will certainly consider it. Thanks.

I copied/learned Jules Ah See's arrangement which is on the "Hawaii Calls: Favorite Instrumentals of the Islands" LP. I'm pretty sure he was using the C13 tuning on "The Little Brown ...

Can't get a hold of Derrell Stephens, but will keep trying this week. In the meantime, if you electronics guys can make a comment on these 2 switch choices, I'd really appreciate it. There's a lot o ...

Barry, thanks for the info.

The power ON/OFF switch jammed in the "ON" position--I took it apart to see if I could clean/repair it, but one of the contact plates inside is broken, so I'd like to replace it. I've been ...

I hope we find out who is willing to make those longer pedals, as I need 8 for my LeGrande SKH.

OK, I'm sorry for the confusion, if you're referring to my diagram that shows the switch. That diagram is duplicated on the other neck, so there are 2 on/off switches, one for each neck. You can tur ...

Walter, I hope this helps. The first diagram was for my Magnatone D-8 Lyric, but it's the 2 pickup on each neck model G-85-DW. When I bought it, I knew I would have to replace the TONE pot, as the s ...

Yea, great album--definitely on my list to transfer to CD.

Looking at my album that shows the length of each song--it looks like it would be roughly 35 minutes or more--that's total time! A standa ...

OK, Scott. Forgot about the copyright thing. Thanks for answering my question.

Would you be interested in re-creating the Emmons T-shirts I remember from years ago? They may have come from the Emmons Guitar Company--I'd have to look at my old Emmons catalogs. They had either t ...

Funny you'd bring this up. Not too long ago someone posted the same thing and one of the electronics guru's here on the forum said it was NOT a good idea! I don't think he elaborated on it--so, it l ...

I would press this builder further that you just are not satisfied with the condition of this "BRAND NEW STEEL GUITAR"! Especially with all the money these new steels cost!

I don't know ...

"My Bluest Day" is still one of my all-time favorites to play. That ending-lick to the verse involving the 10th string of the big spread chord walking-down to open, "gets me" ever ...
