SX 6 Ash RetroFit plays and sounds way better Benders too

Post by George Piburn »

Hello from GeorgeBoards™ we are making SX 6 ash RetroFit parts now. Palm Bender Video << Click

We purchased a SX 6 Ash from a forum member -thank you-
to design our RetroFit parts to convert your SX 6 ash from a load of guitar parts into a playable Steel Guitar.

I gotten a lot of requests from folks that want to convert their SX 6 ash and here it is.

Static Nut Replacement - with this alone you can install in less that an hour - low cost.
True 3/8 spacing - Graduated notches deep enough for heavier strings.

Sounds great George. Like the professional retrofitted nut and bridge. Affordable upgrade for a much better sound.

Thanks for the input Brad,

20 each part static and 25 each part roller, 6 shipping usa.

Some photos of the nut and bridge areas will help me make sure my parts will fit.
This Ash I bought to measure from is the only SX I have inspected.

I've also made plexiglas measuring sticks for Super easy fast accurate placement of these GeorgeBoards parts.
