I have one like that, a 1954 Grand Console. Mine is not in as good of shape. I paid around $400 for mine. It needed tuner buttons, but I replaced them with repro tuners with metal buttons. It needed a ...

What's the round thing by the nut on the second string?

Nice tune!

The Stew-Mac method is good. Sure there's 24 tuners, but you only have to clean 'em every 25 years or so!

The astonishing Chicago Store! On Sixth, right in the heart of downtown Tucson....the most voluminously eccentric music store in all the world . . . since 1919 . . . at least!

If you find it there ...

How do you get to the volume pot on those? I have a '47 that could use a new one.

Did you measure the old pot with a meter? Even frozen it should give a clue, I'd think.

I recently picked up a DigiTech RP 360 which is a modeling thing. It has 99 presets and 99 user slots. I got it to use through my computer speakers for practice, but I've started gigging with it. It h ...

A little glue, sandpaper and paint and she'll be good as new!

I loved that from the first note! Very nice.

I have enough trouble with six strings! Looks good, though.

I just have one lap steel, but I have a double neck console. I had a few at one time, but I kept the one I played the most. I wish I'd kept a couple of them.

I use finger picks on anything that sits on my lap or is horizontal. I do hybrid picking (pick and two fingers) on underarm guitar. That's what feels most natural for me.

That first clip sounds like a lap steel to me.

Sounds good, Doug.

I'm saving up for a Nunaber Immersive Reverb MK 2 for a pedal 'verb for ambient stuff.

EH just released a pedal called the Attack Decay that does reverse sounds and has a b ...

I just wired up two cables with the screw on connector.
One six foot the other ten. Plenty long enough to get from the output to the volume pedal, or the amp in a small room.

I missed the free offer, but I've heard quite a few tracks on the jazz show on KRFC-FM here in Fort Collins, CO. It's on my list of steel guitar recordings to pick up.

That sounds nice and looks cool. If the bridge works, what's not to like?

That's just crazy. I love it! I have a hard enough time with two necks, so I'll leave it to you. Beautiful steel guitar!

I just got mine home from the bass player's house today! I sat at it for about an hour playing it acoustically and letting the strings get used to my music room. I know I'm going to be spending a lot ...

I still have the original cable for my New Yorker that I bought new in 1950. It's cloth covered !

I have one like that with my '47 New Yorker as well!

I also have a '54 Grand Console. I just go ...

Depending on which or if I use a pedal board I use one of several VP's. My favorite is a '70's DeArmond that I loaned to the pedal steel player in my band and he likes it so much he hasn't given it ba ...

No. I gave up the Dobro to focus on the electric lap steel.

A lot of good advice in this thread! We need a "like" button.

Something looks not quite right there.

Link?

That's great. I'm an amputee (left leg) myself and it's good to see folks finding solutions for problems like this. I have both arms and hands, so I feel pretty blessed that I can still play. Pedal st ...
