I have yet to find a source for the postwar ivory 481 knobs, the the brown prewar (and postwar KEH) 481 knobs are readily available -- but they're quite spendy. PM for more info.

...the knobs are the challenge.
The black metal knurled knobs that I used on the instruments pictured above are Allparts MK-0138-003.

I have made a handful of these:

What a wonderful instrument! You're not the Lone Ranger when it comes to your dislike of a knob on the bass side of the pickup. An alternative would be to eliminate the tone pot and plug the hole (or ...

Gibson also used the brown 481 knobs on their postwar Kalamazoo KEHs, and ivory 481s on all but the very first BR-9s.

Might be worth your while to check in with the people who publish the Guinness Book of Records.

If I were Marty I would feature him on steel on at least a couple of numbers.
Agreed. But then again, I am not Marty. (Nor is anyone else.)

I think I can name one song.
That's one more than I could name, Fred. Congratulations!

The prefix "7" would indicate 1957 production.

Those pix are fantastic! Thanks (and a big alo-ha) for sharing.

If you wanted to, you could consider the common 6-string C6 tuning (lo to hi: C-E-G-A-C-E) or 8-string tuning (lo to hi: A-C-E-G-A-C-E-G) to be Am7. Same notes; same intervals.

Lotsa bang for the buck with the Joyo JF33.

When Russ Pahl was still in the Twin Cities playing with the Sky Blue Water Boys back in the late '70s, he used an MXR unit on their showstopper Wood & Steel. I thought it sounded great.

Unless you really have to, I wouldn't clip anything to the steel. It looks tacky. My $.02
Totally agree. Like installing a trailer hitch on a Corvette.

But hey, lotsa steelers are gadget freaks ...

One of the very last of the truly awesome Bigsby pedal steels. Wow!!!

Will it fit double guitars?
Yes indeed, with custom brackets, a Deluxe34 can be adapted for two instruments:

Hard to beat a Deluxe34, but be advised -- they don't come cheaply.

If money (or lack of) was no deterrent, I would seek out a combo platter of the nicest-looking and bestest-sounding 6-string Rickenbacher Electro A-22 available.

Second choice: A cosmetically excel ...

I have eventually weaned myself off of picks for my electric guitars, in most instances. Sometimes I will use fingerpicks on my Weissenborn, but not always. When I do use them, I use a generic Dunlop ...

An option worth considering: With a pair of custom brackets, you could eliminate the legs altogether and set your lovely Console Grande on a Deluxe34 stand.

Buddy's solo on Gentle On My Mind from John Hartford's All In The Name Of Love album on Flying Fish circa 1977. Best version ever with stellar performances all around courtesy of Nashville's A-Team.
