The Steel Guitar Forum

My brother and I went to see Dale and Ricky when they were at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta a good while back. Those two guys were made for each other. No need to comment on Ricky’s tone and playing, you know what it was!

More kudos for Kevin. He’s a big reason all of my pedals are Goodrich.

Similar to what Ray did, but I made brackets that hook to the side of my seat. For me, it was more convenient to change programs sitting there. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/1080_ECD6F8506D614202AFA2493521C79884_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/1080_B6A696CCA4054BFBB03...

Yep, that’s Puddin’.

It's not where it's built, it's how it's built. I love my G2's.

Looks like a Franklin Pedabro with an E9 neck behind the Pedabro neck.

I’m pushing a Peavey 1203-4 Black Widow in a cabinet with a Quilter Steelaire Rackmount, and really love the way it sounds. I don’t, however, love the weight. Has anyone modeled this speaker with a neo magnet? I’d love to lighten the load a little.

I think I have one. What are they worth?

Jack Strayhorn is a member here. Maybe he will see this and post a reply. Jack was with Emmons far a longtime and some of their best guitars were built under his watch.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Franklin! Your family’s contribution to the steel guitar world can’t be measured. Wishing you a totally awesome day.

Bruce, you mentioned their great customer service. That’s an understatement! My experience with them has been over the top outstanding. Best in the biz.

You have a pretty healthy budget to work with. You can find some very nice guitars in that price range. As mentioned, the Mullen Discovery is a great guitar and Mullen customer service is top notch. You can get a loaded guitar that will cover all of your E9 needs and not max out your funds.

I tried to follow on Facebook, but got a message that the content wasn’t available.

Wayne is/was with Martina McBride’s band. I’m not sure if he’s still on the road with her or not. He’s one heck of a player.

If you’re handy enough to do all of the modifications you mentioned, can you build a pedalboard case with enough room on the bottom to use pac-a-seat legs under it and have them fold up?

Braided masons string.

I guess I’m the odd man out. I like the 15”, it just sounded better to my tired old ears.

Great looking guitar. You’ll love it.

I found the collars at Tractor Supply. Going to give them a try as soon as the pedal rod extenders get here. Did you guys do anything to keep the setscrews from scaring the legs?

I think Vince had such a huge hit with this song because of what John played. Vince had this to say about John’s work on this song. “It (the intro) makes the song recognizable by what happens before any words are ever sung. John played the best steel guitar solo ever”. Vince himself puts this song i...

Lee, I also carry a spare pedal for the reason this post was made. And, I’ve never had a string break. But when I change pots, the string gets changed as well. It’s cheap and gives a little extra peace of mind.

While you’re at it, put a new string on.

A while back I switched from stainless wound to nickel wound. I just recently saw that the chrome plated bar that I use is recommended for stainless strings, but a stainless bar should be used on nickel strings. So, am I damaging my chrome bar? Am I not getting the tone that nickel strings offer? Wh...

Ron, I know that the slides on the Fish and Chips need to be alternately full on/full off, but which way do you start, left to right?
