The Steel Guitar Forum

The only difference in the original Dunlop audio-tapered pots I originally sold and the ones I now sell is the style of the soldering lugs. The older model was a bit more confusing with the "stud-projecting" soldering post model. The current pots have the more standard soldering lug config...

You can now get almost any guitar part from Barry Coker in Alabama. His email: firetrkdoc@bellsouth.net If he is unfamiliar with the part you want, and you can send him an example of it (by sharing another one of the parts from your guitar like you want), he can likely duplicate it. And yes, I'm sti...

I took the time and found a few explanations that might add some clarity to the various posts here. These quotations were taken from Wikipedia (not the ultimate authority on anything, but close to it). Each quote is an opening paragraph of topics mentioned by the Forum posters. To paraphrase what I ...

Darrell. Standard pianos are tuned to a Tempered tuning. I don't know how electronic keyboards are tuned. Maybe others here on the Forum will have the answer. A Google search surely has the answer, but dadburn it, I'm too busy to look up the answer.

Yep. That's a Galaxy all right. I now have 2 that I'm refurbishing. They are exactly like the Steel Guitar Amp and with the same sound, but don't have the EQ bank (but a distortion cluster as a substitute. Great amp! ...Tom

I found a Webb Galaxy. This post can be closed. ...Tom

Anyone want to sell one of these amps? ...Tom (tommybradshaw@gmail.com)

Anyone have an owners manual for an eBow? ...Tom (tommybradshaw@gmail.com)

Yes, I designed this "Delta" model of the Brads-Rack. It's history and pictures are covered well in my Steel Guitarist magazine, Issue 6/7. The other model (the "Concord)," and often referred to as the "Singer Sewing Machine" model, was one I also designed. Only one gui...

Anyone have an extra one? ...Tom (tommybradshaw@gmail.com)

Don't throw the pedal away. Get it welded. Are you sure it isn't just "crummy" aluminum? I've seen aluminum casting that are bad (foreign material in the mix), but this looks like the worst ever!

Does everyone agree that the best reverb tank replacement for a Nashville 400 is a MOD 4EB2C1B ? I need one. ...Tom (tommybradshaw@gmail.com).

Looking for one Super Pro foot pedal. They are wide and have what is referred to as a "waffle" face. They are drilled for a 1/2" axle rod. Tom (tommybradshaw@gmail.com)

Replacement and upgraded ZB fretboards are now available. The mis-registry in the graphics of the original fretboards has been corrected with these boards. Check them out at https://www.songwriter.com/bradshaw/fretboards.php.

I should have provided a bit more information, so here goes: I hired George Moore to clone the analog version of the MatchBro. George was the main tech who designed the various models of the Webb amp. He knew sound and electronics better than anyone I knew. He did the schematic and even bread-boarde...

With the first production run of my resonators, the manufacturer for me (MXR) inadvertently inserted a 9-volt battery clip inside the unit. I shipped many, not knowing that the clip was inside and space was made for the 9-volt battery. When I discovered this, I immediately contacted MXR and asked th...

Why did you read that many pages before taking a break? You were just getting to the good part. Pages 25 thru 50 are "the best yet to come." Take a break at the next great tune provided and chill a bit! It will act as a "brain-repairer." ...Tom

For this "heady" (serious learners), I have completed another FREE instructional paper. Check it out at www.songwriter.com/bradshaw/chord_construction.php I encourage all to read it, thus allowing me to show you what "perpetual boredom" feels like! I'm working on other papers to ...

I encourage all to read it, thus allowing me to show you what "perpetual boredom" feels like! I'm working on other papers to extend that boredom to insanity. ...Tom

If anyone ever bought one of my Resonators and also owns a Pedabro, please post your experience as to whether or not my Resonator can duplicate the Pedabro's sound. I doubt that it will, but I wonder how close it can get. ...Tom (tommybradshaw@gmail.com)

Jim reports that his order arrived! Isn't the U.S. Postal service great!

Jim Reynolds and I have said from the very beginning that our goal in accumulating and digitizing all of Jeff Newman's courses was for preservation purposes only. Therefore, we will never sell any of the materials or offer them in any form other than to those customers that proved their purchase of ...
