The Steel Guitar Forum

Well after 50 years of playing my MSA I finally got me another guitar. Being left handed has its downfall. This is a ‘71 Professional D10 with 8&4. A one owner guitar that has not been played much. I had to change it from Day to Emmons and this is the first time to see the rack and barrel system...

I’m getting a ‘71 ShoBud Professional this weekend and will probably need some extra parts. Are the any available for the rack and barrel system?

Here is mine. It is a rebuild of a ‘73 MSA Classic. I built a new red oak body and covered it with red formica. I put on aluminum necks. All the other hardware is original MSA. And of course it is left handed. Not to brag, but a lot of people that have heard it, says it is one of the best sounding M...

Thank Bill. Lot of nice stuff on there. I had all of Lloyd’s vinyls but lost them all in a hurricane. Greenblue was a single release in 1969 and I remember hearing it played on KIKK AM out of Houston while riding around in my car. They always played it going into the news break.

I’ve been trying to find Greenblue audio
I can’t seem to find that on You Tube or anywhere else. Help please

I had a great time, also. I don't play near as much as I'd like to. Here's my old/rebuilt 73 MSA. Same hardware, but new hardwood body and mica. New aluminum necks also. Oh yeah, it backwards, too.

I will be there for sure

E T and the Texas Troubadours get another player back together. Pete was such a nice man and great guitar player. I had the pleasure and privilege to play with Pete a few times. He will be missed greatly.

Ok, it's getting closer to Sunday. I need some support here. Everybody that can, please come out and join in the fun. The more steelers the better. Anybody that wants to play my steel is welcome

I plan on being there

I'm going for the first time. Really looking forward to it.

Dustin, I got the aluminum necks by a lucky accident. I posted a bunch of pics on my Facebook page when I started my rebuild and lucky me a steel player friend mentioned that he had the 2 aluminum necks that he got from someone. ( I'll have to ask him where) he was intending to do a rebuild on his o...

Dustin, I think the actual re-mica-ing the guitar is not hard. I recently did a total rebuild on my '73 Classic. I even built a new hardwood cabinet. Had to totally disassemble ALL of the hardware. The old mica comes off pretty easy with a heat gun. Then just a matter of cleaning up the wood to regl...

Here's my old, new 73MSA that I did a complete facelift on. I built a new hardwood body from red oak, put on 2 new aluminum necks that I got from Gary Carriger, covered it with holly berry colored mica, cleaned all of the mechanics and polished a lot. Also added the aluminum strips along the front. ...

They told me to call back periodically and see if there was anything available. The person we talked to said that there was not a waiting list

If anyone needs to make a cancellation at the Sheriton DFW hotel on the March 10th, 11th, or 12th, please let me know. I was able to book the 10th, but they were booked full for the other two nights. Post it here or email me so I will know sooner.
Thanks. Roy

I had this on an lp years ago and would love to get a copy in any kind of format

Just heard that guitar great John Stannard passed away today. Don't know any details. What a great loss

Wow. I would really like to have that guitar, being that I am a left handed player. Just can't afford to spend the money right now. Maybe it will be around for a while and I can get it later.

I haven't been on the forum in quite some time. I'm glad I saw this post about the Tulsa show.. Just so happens, my wife and I are driving to Tulsa that weekend for her son's wedding. I think I will be able to slip away and go to the show. Herb, I'll be looking for you

I was born and raised in Blessing, Texas. Glad to be back home after living in Austin for the past 7 years.

I would like to thank everyone for their condolences and prayers. We had the funeral this morning (2-21-11. There were many friends and family there. By his earlier request, I made a cd with fiddle and steel guitar instrumental tunes that was played before the start of the funeral. He was a guitar a...

Jeff's last name was Barosh. He grew up in Danevang, Tx, about 15 miles north of where I grew up. He was the greatest. I sure miss him.
