Dear Paul - Lots of players here did Lap steel & Dobro before going into pedal steel, including Lloyd Green;, and the instrument itself evolved from 8 strings to 10. The factors involved are going ...

I will puchase the D2F cover. Thanks for the replies.

There is nothing in the world like the E9th tuning with the two re-entrant strings (the "chromatic" strings) on top. It was one of the great musical inventions of the 20th century, as 8 stri ...

Lots of other instruments, not mainly steel, but a lot of steel, Brisbane Bop, on You Tube with Vance Terry. It would be nice to see a more modern take on Vance's stuff, but its outstanding for what i ...

Are there any video or sound clips of how the back neck sounds? Congratulations on a classy guitar, great deal too, as single neck Sho Pros go for 4K and more.

Mr. King is a builder and innovator. His recommendation of getting a Mullen seems very well grounded. Being easy to work on would be essential as you design your own copedant, you will be in experimen ...

Thanks Tucker, now corrected.

Dear Jeremy - If you have never played E9th before, then I suggest learning E9th with low to high: B - D - E - F# - G# - B - E - G#; This is the standard E9th tuning without the top two strings. For t ...

Adam Przybala or Jerry Erickson ? Maybe Jory !? Not me ! That's for sure.. Nelson over across the border in Indiana..

Wow ! He is using the old flat steel, like Cliff Carlisle in the Stacy Phillips book..... I do miss 3rd octave frets, they help with hand placement for certain harmonics.. I think my Fender 400 has at ...

I like the idea of the Zirc bar in so far as its hardness approaches diamond strength. i.e no nicks and scratches. How do the Clinesmith bars or Hillman bars rate in hardness ?

Funny you should mention. I have a box of them from B0b, and I just put new ones on last night ! I have not made a sound comparison in years. I liked their sealed packaging preventing oxidation that I ...

Here is some additional information including a post from B0b

Hi Greg - What do you mean "gut the volume pedal" real fast?

To the original Poster - I kind of like the A6 set up that you have chosen. The instrument was built in a simpler time, and the total possible raises and lowers are limited. You are definitely going t ...

Okay John ! I will take em. Ya got me! I will PM for payment.

I have one and I love it; Its perfect for pedal steel, there is nothing else like it, I do need the full spread for five pages of tabs in a single song, in some instructional materials I use. Has anyb ...

Thanks Mike - I will start my own thread to look for some OD with true bypass.

Hey Brooks, looking at the Boss Blues Overdrive, is that a true bypass unit? When its off, it doesn't add anything to the signal?

I would love to own this Mark. PM sent with address and message.
