Chris, I'm glad you've finally discovered Greg, since he recorded this video 14 years ago. Better late than never! Cool

I saw Ben Keith play live with Neil Young a couple times over the years in the Bay Area.

The final time I saw him was at the huge Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park. He was in P ...

It’s the best stand money can buy!

That was great Jim!

The most popular tuning is typically G6, low to high:

EGBDEGBD

…edited - Scott and I posted about the same time.

Thanks Steve - count me in as a “lobbyist!” Cool

Steve, for those of us who live a long ways from Nashville - will this be recorded in some form, podcast or video?

A few members here have commented about GBDGBD as a good Rock lap steel tuning.

For some steel guitar players I think they're not into the tuning because it has sort of a "red headed stepchil ...

I recognize this is somewhat irrelevant, but the current stand price is not too much less than I paid for the guitar. Maybe similar by the time I ship to Canada.

I’m guessing you bought your Supe ...

Wait a second - are you referring to the Kris Kristofferson song “Why Me Lord?” (As opposed to “Load”).

As Bill wrote, finding a stand on its own might be difficult. If a person already owns a SuperSlide, if they have decided for whatever reason that they would rather just play the guitar across their l ...

Dave, you appear to have the first generation Nashville, but with a black cap rather than the whitish cap.

If Beard or Fishman can get it working correctly without charging too much - great - or pe ...

You have v2 - with a metal bottom?

I wasn’t aware of a version with a metal bottom.

The original Nashville pickup was introduced around 2009 and had a metal bar “sandwiched” between the c ...

Per Kevin's suggestion, you may want to contact Beard and see if you can send it to them for possible repair - or at minimum to get some advice on the matter.

Another option would be to contact Fi ...

Cleaning things up inside and installing the new cone and spider will likely make for a dramatic improvement.

As for the Fishman donut, if for the sake of curiosity you want to see how it sounds, g ...

That was great Carmen! And I have no idea how you put the video together - but the whole thing was very well done. Cool

What is the most common gauges used on C6 string??

As the thread continues and additional posts come in with string gauges you’ll find that they can vary from one player to the next.

At the ...

I understand Brendan, especially being in Australia.

It comes down to priorities. If you're using the dobro only for a couple tunes an evening and you are on for example pedal steel the rest of th ...

Likely the best thing that’s easy to install, sounds close to a dobro (but still slightly lap steelish because it’s a surface mounted humbucker) is the made in Oregon Krivo Resophonic pickup.

That's a beauty!

As far as Guitar Center being the last place to see a guitar like this, sometimes you get lucky. If you're a regular "scanner" of Guitar Center sites you might find every ...

Beautiful Fender! From this one photo, it looks like it spent decades under the bed in someone's home and rarely got out of the case.

I really enjoyed the show - they did a good job on it, and it was great to see and hear Greg prominently feature at times.
