Strymon Sunset. Worth every penny.

For me it's been a problem trying to figure out a the mechanics of much J.D. Maness' stuff, (even when he explains it!)

This is not another "what's your favorite steel guitar solo" topic, rather: Is there an elusive steel solo that you've been trying to decipher for a long time?

Interesting question. I had a pair of 112's (and several other Peavey models) that developed scratchy controls at a very early age. No one I asked seemed to think that replacements were financially fe ...

Sad news but peace to Russ's family. A great musician, friend, and a proud Mountaineer whose memory remains with our loved ones in Ohio and West Virginia. The world is a better place because you here ...

"It's a 4-legged divorce machine."

Quilter Travis Toy 15" or a Steelaire, if you can find one. I've had the rest and the rest, and they will not do.

On Rick Nelson's Windfall album: "How Many Times." A gem!

I have a weekly job at a local club where alcohol is served, but most people drink in limited quantities, and have designated drivers. It's totally unlike jobs in the '70's and '80's, with obnoxious d ...

I was breaking .011 G# strings on my SKH Emmons LeGrande. The spokesperson at Emmons recommended putting at least 6 wraps around the post. That stopped the problem, which had to do mostly with the sha ...

My routing:
Guitar--Strymon Sunset-- (Hilton Volume) -- Timeline--Mobius--Big Sky--Amp.

A few years ago I replaced the keys on my old LDG. The originals were Grover "Milk-Bottle" style. At the time, Stewart-Macdonald sold them in sets of six. You might check with them. I had to ...

According to Jeff, the producers wanted a short-haired banjo player. He was qualified, available, and got the job!

Bruce Bouton on Ricky Skaggs' "One Way Rider"
Lloyd Green on Ricky Skaggs' No One Can Hurt You"
Tom Brumley on Rick Nelson's "One Night Stand."

What Jack said. I replaced both Lace Alumitone p/u's on my D-10 Ultra with factory GFI II's. No problems with the height with excellent tone ability from my Quilter Steelaires.

I play a GFI Ultra keyless D-10 thru a Quilter Steelaire combo amp as well as a a Steelaire rack thru a TT 15" cab. The pickups are GFI II's. I have had 0 complaints about tone. I got rid of the ...

The last time that I saw Rusty live was in the early '70's in Akron, OH with Paul Cotton (Richie Furay had departed.) From my prospective (in the audience) it looked like Rusty was playing a Sho-Bud D ...

Quilter Steelaire (combo amp, or rackmount(s) through cabs, depending on power needed)
Telonics preamp/ amp rackmounts (through cabs).
Cabs loaded with 15" Travis Toy speakers.

I was grateful to know Chick as a friend and a fellow steel player from this area. A great musician and a class act!

Thanks Paddy! The SGF rules!

Thanks Jerry. I misspoke: They are pull bars. On the B-C# change, (changer 1, pull bar 1, the aluminum pull bar is bent towards the changer will not raise the string to pitch. I'll see if one of my be ...

Wayne, thank you for your most generous offer. I was able to download the the MCI manual and give it to the owner of the guitar that we are working on. The manual has a picture of a tone bar (bell cra ...

Looking at the MCI steel guitar's version of a bell crank, how are the slots numbered? Is the #1 slot postion the farthest one away from the guitar body?

Also, has anyone attempted to re-fit these ...

Seriously, I would recommend looking at the late Jimmie Crawford's Musym-Tab system. I use it with anything that I tab. It is adaptable to any guitar or tuning. Brilliant, and universal in its approac ...
