The Steel Guitar Forum

Hello all, I'm in the process of looking for a Brownface Fender Deluxe or Princeton. I'm also looking to sell a 1949 Gibson LG-2. I would also entertain a swap..the guitar for a nice example of the Deluxe, or the Princeton and a few bucks for my LG-2. If anyone out there is interested, give me a sho...

Williams are excellent guitars. I've had mine for almost four years now and have never broken a string. They are light, stay in tune and sound great!

Did you get the Marlin fixed or are you getting a new guitar?

Thanks man! I'll check him out.

Hello all,

I'm looking for a source to purchase a backing track for Crazy Arms in the style of Ray Price. The karaoke versions I've found so far are a bit lame. I wondered if anyone had put together a nice one and a link to buy it.

Thanks!

Jeff

I was wondering who might have Carter Steel guitar parts. My steel student has a SD-10 and a part broke. I believe it's called the pull pin. Anyone know where I could get one?

I appreciate the advise...I put another 12at7 in there and it hasn't acted up since. Pretty sure it was the tube. I thought a tube either worked or it didn't. At any rate..seems like the tube at this point anyway!

I have a '69 Twin Reverb and recently installed a NOS Mullard 12AT7 for the phase inverter. Lately I've noticed that sometimes as I play, I loose volume and bottom end all at once. If I turn the amp off then back on again often it will work fine again. I suspect the tube I recently bought but haven'...

John...there are lots of these tubes available on ebay and on other websites..just be prepared to pay as they are spendy! I got mine from the guy who works on my amps. He's a old tube aficionado and suggested it. I had been a bit skeptical about the difference that was possible, but at least in this...

I replaced the tube in my Steel Guitar Black Box last night with a 1960 NOS Mullard 12ax7. I'm not sure how much to attribute to the placebo effect or maybe the nos tube kool-aid, but it sounds simply unbelievable now. All I can say is wow...

I have 3 Groove Tube KT66's for sale. These were from a matched quad that I put in my Twin a few years back. The glass came loose on one of the tubes so I replaced all four. Would make a great matched pair with a spare. They sound great! $90 for all three shipped in US. Jeff Pickering http://bb.stee...

Hey Mike...I'll probably use the Twin cabinet for my home/recording speaker cabinet, but it's got the JBL's in it and still would be a bit heavy. I'm thinking of going the single 15" route with the Telonics NEO or my old 15" Black widow from a defunct Session 500. I'm about saving a few bu...

Olli,

That looks great!

Wow Gary! That's exactly what I had in mind, except I'll probably go with black tolex! BTW..did your gear survive the OOPS?

Thanks for the suggestions!

I thought I'd get some opinions on the forum for my situation. I recently posted a question about JBL speaker replacements for my old Twin. This is still a viable option, but doesn't reduce the weight a whole lot. I'm considering taking the amp out of the Twin and making a head only Twin. The next t...

thank you all for the suggestions!

I have a '69 Fender Twin with the JBL D 120 F speakers that I've had for nearly 40 years. Recently I've tried other amps like the Cube 80xl due to the weight of the Twin. I just keep going back to the Twin because it sounds SO good. I am tired of lugging it out of the basement for gigs and I wondere...

I really love my Williams

My bad on misspelling the name in my original post. I know they are Marlens, just mistyped. I guess I don't pick a keyboard very well!

Thanks a lot for all your comments. I appreciate the responses.

Hello... I'm not a regular poster, but a friend of a friend just purchased an old Marlin double neck steel from a music store here in Wichita. He came to me to help him get started in playing it. When he got here, the guitar was unplayable and not set up in any way standard. I was unable to even tel...

Here's the way I've got mine fixed up:
