I purchased the TABLEDIT program a few years ago and never used it until last week. I found Bob Wolford's TABLEDIT Tutorials on Youtube and learned enough to tab in Silent Night, as I will be playing in our Christmas Eve Service tonight. It sounds beautiful on my non-pedal Remington Steelmaster and ...

This is sad news. Herb was a true master on the steel guitar and a very nice gentleman. I called Herb 2 years ago when I was restoring a 1991 Remington Steelmaster D8 and he was very helpful. I love his guitars and recently purchased a nice S8 Steelmaster. RIP Herb!

David - I was looking at another RSM-S8, but decided to order from Jimmie. Thanks for your assistance. Please close - I am sending a donation to Bob also for this great site.

Please close this out - I have found what I was looking for.

Contact Jimmie Hudson. He has an 8 string with legs and a gig bag, not sure of scale length. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=13946 David - Do you know if it is a Remington Steelmaster. That's specifically what I am looking for. I just sent a PM to Jimmie Thanks Da...

I have a Remington Steelmaster Double 8 22.5" and am looking for a used Single 8, preferably 24 1/4" Fretboard, with legs and case.

IAN, See Bill Hatcher's comments above -- asian mystery mahogany for sure. the serious cut out for the head stock is an easy way to do it, but it makes for a very flimsy platform to anchor the strings. plug it into a tuner and hit a note and press down on the very end of the headstock and watch what...

IAN, Right after I posted this, I read a post on the forum saying this guitar, although beautiful, is constructed of Chinese mystery mahogany. He said to place it on a flat surface and while holding the body in place to place downward and upper pressure on the end of the neck in the tuner area. The ...

Guitar is sold, donation to forum being sent today.

Hal - That's a nice custom 8 string. I had Serial No. 2011-105 and sold it on the forum a few years back. Someone should jump on this!

Sale Pending!

This picture was posted by Steve Green on the Steel Guitar Forum in a for sale advertisement prior to my purchasing it 1 year ago in 2016. When cleaning the guitar, the decal washed off. Hopefully I can get another. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/11241_1_Remington_Double_8_2_Pics_1.jpg I...

Hoping someone can give me a reality check on how the bridge seems to be mounted on the new Gold Tone LS-6 I bought. It looks like the bridge is rolling forwards towards the neck instead of sitting flat against the body. I haven't tried adjusting the two bridge screws but the the bridge doesn't bud...

I just talked with Wes on the phone and he sounds like a very nice gentleman. Navy Federal Credit Union electronic check has been scheduled to arrive 10/7/2016.

Wes. I'll take it. Let me know how you want the payment - Paypal, etc.

Thanks Erv!

Steve,

Here it is.. Coming soon.. Serial number 064. Anyone recognize her? http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/8287_image_3.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/8287_image_4.jpg Hal - I have SN 0062. I purchased it from Doug. You won't be disappointed. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userp...

Hmmm, wonder if that would be an issue in normal playing? I mean does pressing at the first fret marker have any effect? They also make another body style that may not have that weakness, but it isn't as nice a guitar. Jim: I used a significant amount of pressure when pressing down on the headstock...

Pretty guitar, and should be very versatile with all the adjustments and the active pickup. I would be interested to know, how loud is it unplugged? With the partially acoustic chamber I would think it might be enough to practice with in a quiet setting? Jim: It isn't loud at all, you can hear it j...

asian mystery mahogany for sure. the serious cut out for the head stock is an easy way to do it, but it makes for a very flimsy platform to anchor the strings. plug it into a tuner and hit a note and press down on the very end of the headstock and watch what happens. a maple neck would fare a littl...

I just ordered the Vorson FLSL 220 6 string, but haven't evaluated it yet. I want do a sound comparison of it to my Sierra 8 using the same sound setup. The guitar is beautiful and well made - I was surprised. It also has 4 knobs (Volume & Tone) for each pickup and a 3-way switch. Here are some ...
