1. Can't play like Curly Chalker.
2. Can't play like Buddy Emmons.
3. Can't play like LLoyd Green.
I have plenty more, but since I'm limited to only three...
OK, I like being me anyway... *sigh*
Seriously,
1. I hate that I can't play everything that pops into my head. Even if I can find it, I often don't have the dexterity to play it.
2. I hate lugging it around, it's too heavy (old MSA SD-12).
3. I hate breaking a string that I can't play without, in the middle of a song where I really need that string. [This message was edited by Jim Phelps on 02 August 2005 at 09:53 PM.] |

1. Tuning all those pedals
2. Lugging the heavy sucker around
3. Setting it up and tearing it down
Solution for me? MSA 12 string Super Slide. Sets up in a flash and tunes in less than a couple of minutes. Light as my lunch pail and sounds great. I'm sure lap steel isn't for everyone but man its working real well for me.

1. "C" Pedal (needs polishing)...
2. I meant to hit string 1, instead I hit string 2, loud "thwang" of obviously wrong note. Bandmembers look at me funny...
3. String 7.[This message was edited by Ray Minich on 03 August 2005 at 09:16 AM.] |

1. I don't get to practice enough.
2. I don't get to play enough.
3. I can't make enough money playing PSG, so I have to have a real job.
What's to hate? I've made alot of knew friends, it's the greatest sounding instrument on the planet and I have one.  |

1)Little parts that fall between pull rods.
2)Singers who jump and make the stage wobble.
3)Steel guitarists who, arrive late, pack their stuff, hold out their hand, and thus do not help with set up or tear down, giving all a bad rep.

And the hose clamp is perfect; it's adjustable for both longnecks and fatboys.

1. The weight of the guitar in its case
2. The weight of the Nashville 1000
3. The weight of my pack a seat with all
of my road gear in it...
Oh well, getting to play this instrument makes it all worthwhile. Larry J. |

1. Too much weight
2. Too much weight
3. Too much weight
I agree with Rick. The 12 string SuperSlide is where it's at. I was always the last guy set up and the last guy to finish packing up. |
