This hurts. I just saw Mike the week before he died and he seemed like his normal self and played great. They played a double-bill with Mike and the Moonpies and we talked quite a bit after his set. ...

Thanks Tony I need a dirt box for steel and I'm not playing Electric Guitar. I have one of those on my guitar board. I'll give th ...

No. The reason is I use mine for steel and Banjo and Acoustic guitars/dobro. The amp sounds really good for banjo and guitars that I'm afraid if I put a more Steel friendly speaker in it I would lo ...

About an year ago I paid $1700 for a very clean Pro 1 with the hardware well polished that I gig with. Its a newer square front Sho-Bud. It has 4 knee levers. I agree with Tony pending the conditi ...

Thanks everybody. I got a hold of Wade Thomas today and he is going to build me a case.

Thanks. I will try him. Kevin Hatton is booked up until July. I sent a PM to Hugh Briley but haven't heard back. Called MSA and Red Dirt. So far no luck. Red Dirt stuff looks good but I don't need ...

For what it's worth. I'm gigging with a Boss Katana 100 because it does PSG and acoustic instruments fairly well. If I didn't have to play banjo or dobro or acoustic guitar then I would probably still ...

Kevin Hatton was highly recommended to me. I just sent him an e-mail. My MSA was in a house fire at our old rehearsal place. The guitar came through it OK but the case which was pretty road worn to be ...

I like C6. C6 lap steel was my gateway drug into pedal steel but I never learned the C6 pedals. I treat the C6 neck like a lap steel with more extensions and use a lot more slants. Mostly because all ...

I like Canare GS-6. The jacket is made from polypropylene and not rubber. If you gear if left in a trailer and you gig where it is really cold the Canare cable doesn't get stuff like standard wire.

These days though the weight difference is a considerable advantage though.

I like my old Classic D10. It's all stock except for a 5th knee lever I don't use. I would post a thread searching for a pedal steel tech within driving distance. I don't know what part of Indiana ...

I'm really liking mine. My Favorite part is Banjo and dobro sound really good in Acoustic mode. Steel sounds pretty good with the band. Electric guitar IMO is the weakest use. But before the Katan ...

Thanks a lot Bob.

Thanks Bob! That would be great.

Thanks. I've been a good boy lately. I may get one. Is there an advantage to moving up to a bigger diameter?

I've always a 7/8" Dunlop bar. It was my first bar and I never thought to change. What would the difference be in a pricer bar like a BJS?

Thanks.

Miscellaneous stuff.

I like Peterson tuners. Just make sure the sweetner settings are set to E9 when tuning the E9 neck and set to C6 when tuning the C6 neck. If you tune the machine tune your gu ...

I have a lacquered maple 70s MSA D10 Classic. It is possibly the heaviest guitar in history. I recently picked up a Sho-Bud S10 (Pro I) No comparison weightwise I can bicep curl the Sho-Bud in its ...

Thanks everyone.

The guitar was torn down and cleaned and rebuilt in the Spring of 2016. Once the strings initially stretch in about the only thing I usually need to do is tune the guitar from t ...

The S10 I'm gigging with now has no pad. I thought I would want one after only playing D10s. But I'm fine with no pad. I like the S10 as is.

I have this old lacquered maple MSA. I think it was built around 74. All stock except a 5th knee lever I. The guitar is really dark compared to my Sho-Bud. It needs new strings and I would like to ...

This is probably old news but just in case ..... I was with Gary Sill yesterday and he gave me some finger picks he sells called ProPiks. These were nickel/silver and blade #3. They do different met ...

I don't know. Do I have to pull the pickup to find out? I didn't realize the 705 is tapped so you can do splits, coil taps or series/parallel switching. I never thought of that I don't know why ... ...
