Hey, Harry. Are you gigging that thing out up there? Would love to hear it and would good for us to have an excuse to head north.

Oh yeah, also Louie Armentaro in Livingston who has claims on being the oldest steeler n the world. Quite a character, that guy.

Hey Richard, here in Missoula we also have David Horgan and Aaron Jennings. Also Dave Martens is up on the Highline. The Livingston/Bozeman area always has a few good steel players around. Lots of ...

Hey, John. I wrote this up about the SKB case, I have flown a few time with it, but maybe someone who flies more can chime in on durability.

Ricky, do you have a preferred product for texturing/flocking the bottom of the guitars you work on? I have an older, hard used Bud that needs some love.

Clinesmith

Being almost functional on the C neck has got me in the door to some very good gigs.

Ha!

Nic, itâ€™s a deep well you are tapping into here! It really depends on the type of country music you want to play. A modern guitar is not necessary. You mention jazz and Hawaiian so I imagine ...

I have a friend that has a Carter Starter and the RNR has no stop on it. I suggested a Sho~Bud style angle bracket with allen bolt and locknut to provide a stop for the bell crank. I'm assuming the ...

Hereâ€™s a recording that I used it on. You can definitely hear the grit in there. Donâ€™t have any A/B comparisons but this give a bit of the idea, I was using a Williams through a Prince ...

When I use mine it is for effect only, I'm not using it to compensate for impact of the passive pedal, so it goes after the volume pedal. That way i can control the grit as well.

Stephen, thanks so much for all of your efforts and for posting all of these. The stage and sound and overall vibe in the non-pedal room was excellent. Great performances, and audio/video quality! Ch ...

Hey Charlie, I had a project a number of years ago where I used a Klon pretty regularly with a Goodrich. I bought mine before prices went through the roof.

oh good! My main lighter, drag around guitar is an S10 Williams. You are welcome to check it out if you make it up to Missoula, I like the way it sounds but to my ears itâ€™s quite different t ...

Brooks, is your Bud giving you problems?

Very cool, Bob. Are you using a transformer over there or will The Amp run on 220v?

A buddy sent this link and asked what the round thing is mounted to the bottom of the guitar. Anyone have an idea?

Tim's going to mod mine to the steel specific one for a very reasonable price. Thanks Tim !! Mr. Green

Very cool. Tim is a good egg.

Holy cow, what a fantastic player. And an Amoeba partner to boot! Thanks for the post, Stu!

That guitar player was Tommy Connell. Heâ€™s a fantastic guitarist. Tommy has played on several of Jonâ€™s steel guitar albums.

That was a cool set and one the highlights for me that ...

I just received a couple of the Clinesmith polymer bars and they are quite nice.
