Thanks Ted, what a great resource!

thanks - about the string. I did change it, but I then put a larger one on - seemed to help pull a little more out. ...when (if) I can get the screw out, and put a new one in, I think that would give me what I need - especially if I can adjust all the others appropriately. Question - I don't know th...

First of all, I'm new here (and new to lap steel) so thank you in advanced for such a great community... I have an old Oahu lap steel with the built in Supro style sting through pickup... Lindy Franlin provided new magnets on my hunt to figure out this problem, but the problem persists... the Pickup...

Thanks Michael, I've have since found them. LOTS of stuff there.

thanks Rick. Jason has offered to sell me a set of his higher quality magnets or recharge my old ones. I think I'll go with his new magnets.

I have a late 40's Oahu lap steel with the Supro pickup and am trying to diagnose an issue. I've read some threads here, got some insight, but still have questions. First off, one of the magnets is nice and strong. The other is pretty weak, although it still has some charge. When the two magnets rep...

Hard to describe, but I missed it when it was gone. I got rid of the pedal because as you turn up the effect, espec...

buy cheap..buy smart! I guess that's one way to look at it. My experience is cheap and smart are often not the same thing. Or I should say, everything I've ever compromised on, for the sake of price, has bitten be back at somepoint when I've realized the shortcomings of my frugal decision and had t...

Thanks Gianni, just what I wanted to hear. For the steel, I want to learn and use the basic swells and constant riding that I hear in steel music. For guitar, I want to use it as a simple volume adjuster between rhythm and lead and to simply adjust the volume on the fly to match the song - just like...

I'm a guitarist that has just come in possession of an old lap steel. I don't intend on gigging with it, but want to start learning it and am seeking a volume pedal. I'll probably end up using the volume pedal more for guitar though and am looking for a volume pedal that works well for both. I'm lea...
