Looking for a good working chassis, but don't care about the cabinet or speaker.

So sorry to hear about my friend Jo-El. I met him as he was getting his record deal, and living in a motel room in Nashville. He took me to Possum Holler to see Kenny Rogers perform, and we were seate ...

Yes it is.

2 narrow mounts from Super Pro. One is 22.8, but the other won't read and I don't know how to fix it. $100. for both shipped to the lower 48.

No Lee. The discussion is about string buzz !! Rollers can cause it, a rough bridge can cause it, a bad string, etc.
Even bar placement can cause it. READ JIM'S POST !!

Gene: To add to my old friend Jack's reply, my Sho Bud has occasional string buzz. The fix that usually works is to sand the bridge with 1500/2000 grit paper as over time, a "groove" will fo ...

William,
Then I guess HE has a problem. :roll:

Sorry I misspelled your name Erv.

What was the reason the owner thought the new instrument needed to be fixed?

OK. Here's what I was told on several occasions by my friend. Again, it's not me. Friend ordered a new guitar, and when ...

If you have a problem with the Rudolph boys, it's YOUR problem, not theirs. :roll:

If it has 'split' tuning screws at the top of the changer (see photo), check that they are not stopping the strings from lowering to pitch

Thanks so much Jon.

Customer service is always great. When I had a similar problem he politely directed me to the Williams website where there are instructions for tuning splits.

Thanks Greg and Ian. Possibly my frie ...

3 areas I can suggest you look at.

1. Does the guitar have a row of screws at the end of the neck for splits? If so, be sure the finger is moving enough. If not, back out the split screw.

2. Do ...

Call bill Rudolph at Williams. He will walk you through it.

Hi guys: A friend brought his new Williams SD10 by today, with some tuning probs. Ended up changing raise rod holes in changer and bell crank. Worked. However, #6 won't lower far enough w/lever. Tuni ...

Don: My thoughts are with you and your family. BILL

Please close.

BUMP please

Marc: One thing I found on my '81 Bud, is the rivet that holds the the lower and raise pieces together (pivot point) over time, wears. When you disassemble to lubricate, it's easy to rotate that worn ...

I have 2 Wallace Truetones narrow mount in excellent condition. They are 3 hole mount for Sho Bud, and others. Very crisp on every pole. 17.7K and 17.6K. $140.00 shipped in CONUS.

Good point Ian. Thanks.

Thanks Norman. I can load soloists, etc., but was unaware that I could mute whatever, and have it end up permanent. I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks again. BILL

Hello all. I have a 2017 basic (pro) version. I want to change from an accompaniment piano, to a soloist piano at the bridge, or intro, etc. Is that possible, and how would I do that ? Thanks, BI ...
