The first thing I would do is put the correct Guage string on (same as what came on the guitar from the factory) as that may solve your problem. Many times any problems that crop up on a brand new gu ...

Thanks Bruce. That's what I thought. I seem to remember seeing him on other albums where he did the session. But, I never heard of him being in any other band than Jimmy's. Talk about a great gig.

Jimmy Buffet. But he also may have played for Ricky.

I believe it was Doyle Grisham.

Thanks James. That was awesome.

Thanks Dave for those links and other info.

I already have a nut extender (made by Grover) coming. I am thinking of an open E tuning.

Even though Montana ( ...

I don't expect it to sound like a resonator. I do have an EQ pedal I use for "dobro" sounds on my PSG. I would try that on it. Mainly, I just want to be able to play with a bar. I am not ...

+1 to what David V said.

I put standard medium gauge strings on my round neck dobro, and GBDGBD tuning works fine on it, no neck warpage and good intonation.

If you us a nut adapter on a standa ...

Which model Ibanez is it? Nut extenders are available pretty widely and generally do a good job (depending on the width of the neck).

AW800RECE-NT

I could live with an E or D tuning.

Ron Elliott is one of my favorites.

He has the best harmonics in the business. They make me collapse in ecstasy (there's a picture for y'all).

I have a nice Ibanez acoustic/electric guitar that I really can't play due to my left hand. Has anyone used a nut extender so it could be played like a dobro? There are opportunities for acoustic mu ...

Richard yes you right on ...no premium edge neck or split screws ...it is one of the Timeless Timber builds with LXR -16 pickups...and that pretty much sums it up...wishing now that I had never posted ...

David, yours cost more because, it has the high profile neck with split tuning, 9 pedals, likely at least 8 knee levers, oh, and don't forget, the lacquer cabinet.

I tend not to fall into the "so-and-so is best" trap. There are so many great players, dead and alive, and I have my favorites. Is Paul "better" than Buddy? No. Is Buddy better t ...

If you change the 3rd string a little more often, it wouldn't break. I haven't broken any string in at least a couple of years.

Looks like Stu to me too. Killer player.

F# split tuning ??? What for ? Thanks.

Using the G# to F# lower lever and the B pedal at the same time gives you a G note. There is what is called " split tuner" which is another rod on ...

I’ve used a 22p for years. I think the 6th string sounds much better with the larger gauge. No problems raising it to A or lowering to F#.

I agree with Tony. Been using a .022p for much of my 5 ...

Sounds like their student model. The pro S10 came with 5p/2k. I had a 1971 S10. But the student model had the same pro undercarriage parts as the pro models if I remember right.

I prefer your option #1: lower string 6 G# to F# and split with B pedal for G. That is priority #4 change on any guitar I have with at least 4 levers. To me, there are an enormous number of possibilit ...

I find that when I wear my Hula Skirt, I tend to sound more Hawaiian. Whoa!

Sorry, I'll go back to my room with the rubber walls.

Every guitar I have ever seen or had, has the pedal rod hooked up in the manner shown in the OP's photo. The reason I was given when I first started was that it kept the rods from being able to be ki ...

Yup. It apparently is a Dekley. Must have been a student model, or a very, very early one.

Those yokes on the E9 pulls are superior to many and reminiscent of Kline or ZB.

I had a D10 of this period that just had crude fishplates to split the pulls, but being pull-release it sounded grea ...

What's the story with the fret boards? Did Sho-Bud ever use that type, or is it from a different brand. Cool guitar.

Every BL pickup I have ever installed into a PSG, they never fit without me having to file a bunch off the baseplate to fit. But once done, they are great, and my favorite pickups.
