Hi, looking to purchase a Paloma Cobalt bullet bar. Will buy white bar too.

Thanks, Mark Addeo

Hi, Just to confirm it’s a 10 string, wide mount with no issues? If yes to all, I’ll take it. Thanks.

Hi Mickey, I’m looking for matching 3 pedals, any kind. I’ll settle for 2. Let me know if you have any. Thanks!

Hi, I have two of your dad’s left handed Pedalmaster steels and they are beautiful guitars. A D10 and an S10. Glad to hear he is still enjoying the instrument in any form.

All the best!

Mark

Hi, I bought this tone aligner pickup used and never got around to installing. It is a wide mount pickup. The pickup provides lots of options for fine tuning each string to your liking. It shows some wear but is in good shape. Again, I never installed it. Ohm reading of 18.20 $85 shipped to the lowe...

Hi Kiyoshi Osawa, glad to see those chrome diamonds back on that great old hunk of wood. That steel has a lot of music left in it. All the best!

thanks Ron, I’ll send you a PM.

Older copy but with revisions and letter from Jerry. Includes cassettes vol 1&2. Cover of the book is metal. Beautiful though used. Inner pages are in very nice shape. $60 shipped to lower 48 states. Thanks! https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/10705_14E7463D5FCA4F9FBB087CA317017499_1.jpg...

For sale is a nice vintage Fender Pedal Steel Guitar rack & leg case with leg bag. This case is in very good condition though the leg bag is a little tattered just where the legs slide in. Note this case would make great single neck Stringmaster case with a little work. See photo! Stringmaster i...

Hi Kiyoshi, glad to see that neck back in action! I had made a lefty single from that. Then I did a lefty D8 and sold the single neck. Not surprised that it sounds great. I recall that being from the mid 50’s. Best of luck with it. I missed having a single 8 and recently made another lefty without...

Left handed pedal steel guitar top strung “upside down” string wise (analogous to Albert King or Dick Dale) BUT with a right handed Emmons pedal setup.

Nobody but the owner is ever going near that guitar to play it.

I stumbled on this PSG for sale in France. As a lefty it caught my eye....wait....what the....

Hi Leon, definitely prone to bend so I use two medium guitar picks to gently get between the fretboard and body. You can try thin or heavy too. Work your way gently towards each brad. Take your time and good luck!

That bare wood looks great! I love the single necks. I'm surprised Leo went to the trouble to make a separate single 6 & 8 design when the Stringmaster design works perfectly as a single, double, triple and quad!

After doing a D8 basket case conversion to lefty using Re-Ranch paints (vintage cream), I completed a second D8 conversion in the ultra rare "cimmaron red" (aka colonial red at Home Depot). I also just completed a single neck stringmaster orphan as a lefty lap steel in warm yellow (also Ho...

Wow! that was really nice! Would love the rest of the tab!

Hey Dan, my steel is tuned to C6 but the dobro is tuned a 4th below to G6. I don’t think the dobro could handle the tension of C6. Still, it is easy to find your way around since all the relationships are same.

I’ve been playing a lot of C6 steel (ACEGACEG) and for fun bought a lefty 8 string gold tone dobro which came tuned to G6. Finding my way around was easy but playing Western swing didn’t quite fit. Changing my approach on the dobro yielded much better results. 8 strings 6th tuning is useful for ...

This beautiful Bigsby Double Eight string is also listed on Reverb for $60k. I ran right to my Bigsby book and it’s featured as it should be. It’s a beaut! I also went to Todd’s website just to see what a new one would cost. Todd made me a beautiful lefty 10 String similar to plank on the bott...

I’ve been a big fan of Junior Brown over the years and have had the pleasure, with the outfit I play with, of opening up for him twice at some nearby venues. Junior is known for his guit-steel but this latest instrument innovation blew me away and so I had to share! Hope you enjoy this eye candy a...

For sale is one Fender Stringmaster water slide decal. This does not appear to be a repro judging from the size, shape and cutout of the actual decal versus paper. While I can not say with absolute certain that this is an original I am pretty confident from looking closely at it. I bought this for a...

Not sure how I missed these posts for almost two years! Too funny that a lefty (Llorens Del Rio) bought Marian Hall’s modified Stringmaster on eBay. Llorens, I have made two lefty D8 Stringmaster steels from tortured abused steels. I wouldn’t have the stomach to modify a clean one but I’m happ...

Hi, I have a left handed Sho-Bud listed here on the forum. It started out as a Maverick but rest assured it has all Sho-Bud Pro and other professional parts. The only Maverick parts left is the maple cabinet and end plates. Great PSG! here is the link: https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t...

I have an SD10 and a D10 Pedalmaster. Both lefty. Beautifully made. Both built like a tank, well two tanks.

Both of mine have GFI parts so easy to change, modify etc. Both play in tune and sound really nice too.
