The Steel Guitar Forum

Get in touch with Jim Palenscar at Steel Guitars of North County.
He had some for my SP.

A friend of mine was playing his D10 at a bar here in the San Fernando Valley. He broke a string, and when the band took a break he stayed on the stage to change it. Meanwhile a patron at the bar - a little lubed - went up to one of the other guys in the band and, pointing to the steeler still on th...

Just now saw this...
Frank is an awesome player, psg builder, and an all-around prince of a guy.
I'm proud to call him a friend.

2014 Scion xB. Best gig rig I've ever had.

Looks like a Session 400 to me.

Wow...
Now that's a Sho-Bud!

Jerry, I used a Dynacord CLS-222 for years as my Leslie sim. It came out around 1985. It's a one rack space unit, and just may be one of the best Leslie sims ever made. Upper & lower speeds, stereo, etc. It actually sounds better with a guitar or steel than it sounds with a keyboard, IMHO. I had...

I played a S10 for many years. I got a D10, not because I had any great desire to learn and play C6, I got it just because...well, just because I always wanted one. The first session I took it to, they wanted a lap steel vibe. So...you guessed it. C6 did the trick right off. And I really didn't know...

Looks like a Maverick to me. Not very upgradeable. I'd pass and wait until something better comes along.
JMHO

Bruce has a few solo steel CD's out. Check out his "Pelican Dreams" or "Slider" CD.

As far as I know, Jim is fine and still in Simi Valley.
I don't have his number, but can reach out to him for you if you like.

Just about anything from Bruce Kaphan.

Looks good to me. Count me in...

Yep...that's Marty on his MSA Universal...playing great.
And, yours truly on piano.
Heather is a gem that everyone should know about.

Looks like a sticker from a pedal bar got pasted on a who-knows-what....

Samuel... yeah, an SD would be a little heavier, but not that much. An S10 isn't all that light, anyway. Unless you get a lightweight "fly" guitar. The way I kinda see it, if you're a guitar player, and you can carry an amp, you can carry a steel. I wouldn't worry too much about your left ...

Forget about the brick & mortar store. They probably won't carry steels, and if they did, the salesman wouldn't know squat about it. The Forum is a good place to start your search. Assuming you're concentrating on E9, I'd say get a steel with 3 pedals (or 4), and 5 knee levers, and you're pretty...

If a p/p has been tinkered with underneath by someone who doesn't know what they're doing, it can affect the playability in a big way. Conversely, if they're set up well, they play wonderfully, like a good p/p should. Unless there's an issue, like the capacitor problem mentioned above, or the necks ...

Congrats, JC! Thanks for asking me to play on your set...you killed it.

Yeah... odd looking changer. Got a serial number, or underneath pic?

There are some very cool pedal/KL combinations that you physically can't do if you have your E's on your right leg. The changes on your right leg (if you have a basic "Emmons" setup) are usually 1st string up a whole/2nd string up a half, 6th either down a whole or 7th up a whole... 2nd st...

This is sad and awful news. My sincere condolences to his family, friends and 23,000+ of his steel playing friends.
Vaya con Dios, bOb. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…You changed the world.

¡Me gusta mucho!

So... anyone noticed how that picture is reversed L-R?

I saw Weldon play at the Opry, 1981. Pretty awesome.

Whoa...quality problem, Ricky...

I'll be there.
