Thanks Tom. I went with EZ looks. They work well but 5/8" tap isn't quite wide enough so it takes some patience to get the tap hole size to the sweet spot.

Hi Bill, Thank you for all the clarification. I confirmed the size and thread by taking one mount off and bringing it and one leg to the hardware store. This way, I could confirm the facts about what I was really dealing with. That was unfortunately as far as the hardware store could help, but still...

https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/11831_Screenshot_20230604182903_2.jpg I know that this has been discussed on this forum but I didn't have much luck finding the thread (no pun intended). I wound up using heli-coil inserts on my Rickenbacker DW16. Drilled and tapped the 5/8" holes in...

Interesting. Thank you. Oh it's for a 60s eHarp

I have legs that are 1/2" 13 thread that I need to adapt to 5/8". Looked at the hardware store but no luck yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Anyone have experience with the Royall triconstein? Their products look like Republic resonators re-branded. Thanks!

Michael Stephens wrote:Hi there - I installed one a while back on a Melobar lap steel. Sounds pretty cool and works very well. I must admit I'm not playing it much these days (much more focused on pedal steel). Let me know if interested and maybe we could work out a deal.

Will pm you.

That looks great. I'll definitely be reaching out!

Maybe a long shot. Has anyone put a Duesenberg Multibender on Chandler? Duesenberg are just so pricey.

In the C6th version, if you have narrow string spacing you can play strings 1&2 with the nose of the bullet bar while also getting the bass notes. Some downward pressure can help intonate the 3-fret slant. But it's admittedly difficult to get in tune so, truth be told, I usually just eliminate ...

I found this guy on youtube who I found to be very impressive with the faux pedal steel country sounds with an E based tuning.

Anyone want to gift me financial wherewithal to try these out :-P

Lots of palm blocking on this one? This is just a little experiment in treating A6 and C6 as transposing instruments relative to one another. Yes, it uses a high G on the C6th to bring it into line with A6 but there are only a couple of spots where the top string is used. The tune is an old novelty ...

Thank you Doug.

Always appreciate the music resources you have provided for us.

Thanks Basil for the sheet music. I appreciate the music and your passion for Hawaiian Steel :D SAMPLE:_ http://www.waikiki-islanders.com/assets/42-June-2013%20WEB.pdf The Tab in the sample issue is "How’d Ya Do" NOTE: The correct title, oft now misspelled as ‘How D’Ya Do’. The abo...

Sending you a PM.

Impressive as always Doug. Also impressive you were able to find another Epiphone eHarp in such great shape!

Fantastic. Thank you for sharing!

Wow. That looks amazing. Can you provide shipping cost to zip 93117?

Thanks!

Jim

Fun. Thanks Doug.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll be on the look out for Oahu and Jerry Byrd E7 music.

So I picked up an old Christmas book - John W Schaum Christmas Album Transcribed for Hawaiian and Electric Guitar (E 7th Tuning) Now this is regular sheet music and not modern day tablature (which is fine) but what I can't quite figure out is the keys to these songs don't seem particularly convenien...

Hi Andy,

Have you considered recording these? I'm sure you're at least as self conscious as myself when it comes to playing but the midi files are really difficult to listen to.

I'm sure you would do the songs better justice than you think if you plated them yourself!
