The Steel Guitar Forum

I love it!!!!

If you're not a pro, how good does it have to be? Good enough so you don't think, "God, why did I buy this POS!" Good enough to enjoy playing and taking to a jam. Buy a used Gold Tone Beard or Wechter Scheerhorn. You can always sell it for what you paid. Can I get an "Amen!" for...

YES, how right you are.

GO FOR IT !!!!!!!!!

I also have a Wechter Scheerhorn (frugal horn) that I paid under $400 for when a music store heard that Wechter was going out of business. It has a warmer, sweeter, softer sound than my modified Morgan. I don't know if you could find one for $500 bucks tho.

If you feel adventurous and are willing to work on one, I bought a new Morgan Monroe squareneck (yeah, I know guys, junk)and put in a Quarterman cone, an adjustable spider and maple inserts. The tone is great (to me anyway) and it is loud. I needed to "massage" the area around the tone rin...

I like steel to sound like steel.
Less is more.
Steel + Volume Pedal + Amp = Reality

Amen

The best gadget is a multi-channel recording machine. By recording yourself playing you can hear how it sounds to others, and, if you don't like the recording, you can go back and record it again, and again, and again, and again, until you get it right or give it up and move onto something else. :D...

I am a crappy psg player. When I start playing decent I might buy a gadget. I doubt a gadget will help my hands and brain any get their $%^& together!

You've been of significant help to me, in justifying WHY.......I have 24 other guitars, just in case one might malfunction........ Appreciate you words. 24 Ray? Are you sure that's enough? Question: how many do we actually need? Answer: Just one more Honey, I promise. My wife is starting to suspect...

My wife and I were fortunate enough to hear her sing with the TimeJumpers this past year at 3rd and Lindsley. What a great performance! Dawn's family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ray, this video made me smile

And what do I expect in return for the kind words? Nothing. Gotta stay with the topic ya know!

Nice job on the banjer Alan

Scott, thanks for serving others. I think what you do is admirable. I checked out your website and thanks for that too! Keep up the good work.

people are too lazy to go out there and find the GREAT music that is still being made today - they just turn on the local country/pop/rock station and get fed the dribble that is played - which are all sandwiched between car lot ads and vitamin cure alls. my prediction is the demise of terrestrial ...

Jim Williams wrote:$350...wow I thought I got a pretty good deal at $475.

I got it at a pawn shop of all places. Probably the worst place in the world to buy a musical instrument!! But with a little tweaking it plays and sounds great!!

I paid $350 for my starter two years ago or so. I'd take a $1,000 for mine!!

Ah.....I feel better now!

I too have experienced this dilemma........ After a conversation with JERRY BYRD, he explained to me that he seldom if EVER, listened to any of his own recordings. One is always able to figure how they could have done this or that a different way. I dug up some old records I had recorded at age 14 ...

I replaced IE with Firefox. WOW! Firefox rocks!!! :D :D :D No shit, Sherlock! I've used Firefox since the first release. In fact, I also use it on my smartphone. Did you know that you can set it to synchronize if you use it on multiple devices? This syncs the bookmarks and logins. Holy Cow Batman! ...

I replaced IE with Firefox. WOW! Firefox rocks!!!

I have learned nothing by reading this thread. But wait......does that mean I have learned something about nothing? Or nothing about nothing?

I have one of these and I love it. It is a great amp! Price is great too!
