The Steel Guitar Forum

Mike, It’s a great tuning. There are several of us in Arkansas that play his tuning so let me know if you have any questions !

I use a 20p on the 6th and a 68 on the 12th.
Hope this helps.

Plays as good as it looks!

I contact Don Fritsche at BMI in Scranton, Arkansas.

Johnny, It’s Zane’s tuning with a couple of twist. P1 is a 12th string lower (Boowah), P7,8 is a split Franklin and P7 is a F# raise on the 2nd. I still have the original 8th sting raise on my RKR as Zane later changed it to a RKL. I see people that want a 10 string C6 guitar but this tuning would w...

Derek outdid himself on my Rittenberry Prestige. The fit,finish and mechanics are second to none with a tone to match even with all the supply problems over the last several years. I have never sat down to a steel that just fit ,but this one does! T https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/10023_...

Dan, isn’t that Rick Campbell and Garland Harris playing with Zane?

Bennett Sulivan Banjo Lessons ,will take you from beginner to advanced.

Steelers Choice for me!

Gary, I use a SGBB with a V8 Octal and a Telonics Speaker. Lightweight and sounds great!

Don’t forget Jay Ganz Straight Ahead Power Amp.

Roy, I have those tuners on my Pre-RP Mullen SD-12. They still work well and John with Mullen said he still had the parts to rebuild them. The eyes on some have been used so much you have to double loop them when replacing. I think these are some of the best guitars that Del ever made!

Tom, I saw her late last year and Sidney Cox of the Cox family was playing dobro, Ron Block on banjo. Great concert but lacking steel!

Tim, don't give up on this, you will love Zane's tuning. Talk to Don Friche at BMI he will walk you through this and no one knows more about this guitar. I don't have mine in front of me but the changers have gone from 2/2 early to 3/3 or more on a keyless.

Adam, email or call Butch Gardner at BJS Bars. They sell custom Live Steel String sets for 12 string. Customize your own and they will keep it in their system for you.

Small or large rig, with or without a mic to the board.
SSBB- FP-100-PB-ElCapistan-V8-SA Amp- Telonics 15.

First trip out! Sounds big with a small footprint! Thanks Jay and Brad!

Got my SA amp today from Jay and what a great addition! I use it with Brads SGBB , V8 and a Strymon El Capistan into a Telonics 4 ohm speaker. It has all the power you need and very quite. Thanks Jay

Roy, take the nylon nut ioff and make sure the metal spacer is in place and does not go through the changer finger. Make sure the bellvrank on the cross plate is facing the proper way, you can look at it he others to determine this. Call or email Don at BMI , I’m sure he will get back to you.

Ben, if you can find a Mosvalve 982 or a Mesa Boogie 20/20 works well with a Tubefex or a Strymon El Capistan .

Works well for keeping those knobs!

Here you go George

Dale, always love your arrangements. It's like building a musical puzzle. I do get the chordal substations within the song, it works well!
