What are you using for pickups?

If that is ser. #137 it is the guitar that Tooter made for me in 2009-10. I had him put real frets on it because at that time he was only doing fret markers. This guitar was one of the best sounding r ...

Also, if you want to ship it, Bobby Wright in NC is the best in the country. He sets up Josh Swift's guitars.

Yes. Hudson 6 string, 3P, 2K. Struggling with the technique, especially the volume pedal. But you were right about getting P3.

Hey Jim, if you decide to buy the W/S you might consider sending the OMI to Paul Beard for a setup. He can rout the top so your Legend cone will fit and it should sound awesome. After a few decades of ...

I used to do a lot of reverse slants on dobro, but now I mostly use forward slants, especially on the 3rd and 5th strings, some on 1st and 3rd. Lots of nice notes in a small space. I also do a 1-3-5 f ...

Could they be tuner locks for student models? Like the Magnatone student models that didn't have knobs on the tuners - you needed to use a hex key to tune it so only the teacher could tune it.

I've been doing it this way for a long time. Sally Van Meter was the first person to suggest it to me quite a while ago. It makes string changes much quicker and you get to clean the areas under all o ...

Most pro dobro players change strings one side/three strings at a time. If your tuners are the old style with three on one plate then you have no choice. There is plenty of pressure on the cone with t ...

His stand looks really cool. Does anyone know what he was using to be able to move it like that and not have it fall over?
