I also have it listed on Ebay for the same price + $45.00 shipping. If it sells, I'd much rather it go to a forum member.

1952 Fender Dual 6 Professional Steel Guitar $650 shipped. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1205/10423_Fender_Dual_6_1.jpg Originally brown, but was painted black quite a while back apparently. This guitar had a pedal at one time & the holes remain in the tuning pan, although they have no e...

local sale pending...

Sold. Donation on the way.

I haven't played this guitar in over a year, so it's got to go. Rogue Jersey Lightning (white) has no dents, dings, or scratches... the only "blemish" is that the Rogue tag has fallen off of the headstock. I just put some fresh strings on it(C6)& it sounds/plays really nice. Comes with...

I bought this last year hoping to add another instrument to my arsenal. Total failure! No more than 2-3 hours of usage. Looks brand new. Purchased for $199 from Musicians Friend & here's an excerpt of their description... The ideal beginning student instrument - well set up for good playability,...

Sold elsewhere... Please close it up.

Please PM me for more pics. My JPEG's are well within the requirements, but "Upload picture" is just not working for me tonight. Thanks.

I bought this treasure from the original owner(Dale Zdenek) last Summer. Long scale, no issues with the tuners or pickups. 2 original rubber feet, 1 newer one, & one is missing. "Dale Zdenek" stick on letters on the front, but the "Z" has fallen off. The "Z" is stil...

I received the email & successfully downloaded the new files. Thanks so much Mike. Talk about added value!

I have a '52 D6 and I absolutely love it. When I received it, modifications included a Model T gas pedal chained to the 1st two strings & a rough black paint job. I removed the pedal assembly & planned to refinish it. I've decided against refinishing it because it plays & sounds great as...

'53 D8, 26" scale. Bought from the original owner about 6 months ago. Wonderful guitar with a great tone.

When in doubt about an intro, I always think about Don Helms work with Hank. Stuff like "Your Cheating Heart", "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", etc. Exactly what other, much more accomplished players have posted. Play the melody, or a stylistic derivative of the last 4 bars. It als...

My favorite 6 string C6 tuning from hi to low is E,C,A,G,E,C. Much easier to do with a chromatic tuner. I prefer a chromatic tuner pedal because it's always in your cable "chain" between your guitar & amp. You can find a decent, inexpensive, brand new pedal at just about any music stor...

Welcome to the forum! You'll find a tremendous wealth of information here. For the style of music that you're looking to play, I can recommend Cindy Cashdollar's "Western Swing Steel Guitar" dvd's, Mel Bay Presents Basic C6th Nonpedal Lap Steel Method (book & cd), & Mel Bay Present...

Well done Mitch. Lovely tone & phrasing.

Thanks for clearing that up John. I thought it was truly an neck/bridge on/off blend. What an interesting concept. To your knowledge, did Fender (or anyone else) ever employ this on a "regular" guitar?

Not at all. It's more like a variable coil-tap. Blended 50/50, it's got a smooth humbucker feel. Dialed 100% either way, you get a thinner single coil tone. Mine stays at 65% bridge & 35% neck.

I definitely think so. The first thing that I noticed about your guitar is the wear & tear near the pickguard. I'd much rather own a guitar that has been played than one that has been in a closet. Just think how many hours somebody has spent playing that guitar. Some serious mojo there...

Welcome to the forum David. There are a couple of guys here that make cases (Kevin Hatton comes to mind). Maybe they could help you with the fabric. BTW, don't worry about that guitar holding its value. If you ever want to sell it, you know where to find me.
