Tim, the stand is from Deluxe 34. No longer made by that company but I believe they are made now by Asher Guitars. I made the double neck brackets to replace the single neck brackets.

My Rickenbacher DC16 is comfortable on my lap, but it is heavy. When in a low chair, it sits out far enough for the nearest neck to be accessible. That said, I much prefer it on a stand.

Those are all great, Lloyd! I love this music and would also like to hear more. There are some very talented players out there in the world! I'm particularly interested in high bass A as well.

Thanks Rick! I'll give the nail polish a try.

Anyone have a fix for missing white inlays for a Rickenbacher bakelite neck? I'm missing three. It doesn't throw me off as much as I think it looks better with 'em!

Fantastic playing and tone, Ethan! I love Django on the lap steel. I wish your shows were archived because I can't always listen at that time.

Really nice, Rich. I like it!

Good stuff there! Thanks for posting, Mark. I'd never heard these guys.

Jack is correct!

Your tabs and backing tracks are excellent! I enjoy the high bass A tuning as well as C6. Great prices and value on the bundles. Keep up the good work, Sebastian!

That's interesting, Daniel. I wonder if there are any out there with the funtioning vibrato? Thanks for posting.

I like it, Gary! Excellent production as always. Litmus Test is a favorite.

Thanks for this resource, Bert! I have used your excellent tabs in the past and I really like your arrangements.

If it is the real thing, it is a piece of steel guitar history! I'm not doubting it's provenance. I would love to own it! I have a D16 from a little later and the back neck is considerably thinner. I ...

That steel sounds as great as it looks! I think the long scale makes a difference.

Very nice, Rick! Beautiful steels like new. Have fun with them.

Nice crowd, Terry! 👏 Congratulations!

That's really cool,Tom! Nice job. I made one of Jimmy Hudson's StringMaster clones (one neck) and it's great.

Welcome to the madness, Brian! I learned a lot from watching Troy Brinningmeyer lessons. Books from Andy Volk are also great. I'm not a bluegrass player so there are others I'm sure that I'm not aware ...

I have my Republic tricone tuned to C6 and I like it. I keep my Imperial weissenborn tuned to D. I really like the tone of it but I haven't tuned it to C6. Both are Chinese but I find they are pretty ...

Your books are what got me going with my obsession with lap steel, Doug. It's fun to learn these tunes and then expand with your own ideas. I play through all of these songs with your excellent backin ...

I haven't played my teles for a couple of years. I decided at that time that I'd had enough of playing in bands in bars. I wanted to make music that I enjoyed. I even sold my pedal steel recently, whi ...

So good, Rich! Cool
