Milkman 40W pedal steel mini

I am looking to sell my Milkman 40 W pedal steel mini amplifier. I bought this new from Tim in 2014. I am selling it because I have such little time to play these days that I cannot justify having such a nice amplifier gathering dust. The amp is wonderful, very lightly used and only in the home. It'...

Eddie Hinton in Emmons shirt

I recently came across a post in tribute to the anniversary of Eddie Hinton's death, and it showed this old photo of him in a really cool Emmons tshirt. Has anyone ever seen this? Sorry if it's the wrong section...

RIP Steve Young

Steve Young, whose RCA albums prominently featured Buddy Emmons, died a couple of days ago. In my opinion, he was severely under-appreciated. RIP.

I was really excited when that documentary came out a couple of years ago, and I really liked it, but I found the complete lack of any mention of Eddie Hinton pretty sad.

Sho-bud Pro II 8x2

I bought this guitar off the forum some months ago with plans to have knee levers added. I need to spend too much time learning E9th to even get started trying out C6th, so the guitar has pretty much stayed in its case. Anyway, the guitar is in great condition. I'm asking $2,000 plus shipping, or tr...

Can anyone tab this amazing red rhodes solo?

From Michael Nesmith's album "Magnetic South." It starts at around 2:08. I have some parts figured out, completely lost on others (particularly the fast single note runs):

And the Hits Keep on Coming

I've been revisiting this album, recently. It's outstanding- essentially a duet album for Michael Nesmith and Red Rhodes. A couple favorites:

GFI student model 3x2- SOLD

I am selling the student model GFI guitar that I purchased off of ebay a couple of years ago when I decided to learn pedal steel. This was a great instrument to learn on, but after some time I got the urge to upgrade. The guitar plays well, but is prone to some of the shortcomings you'd expect from ...

Roland Cube 80 XL; Steel guitar black box

Both work great, but I am going tube and won't be using them. I'd like to get $250 for the amp $200 for the black box plus shipping. Black box does not have the VariZ control on it. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1403/12436_Cube1_2.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1403/12436_Cube2_1....

6th string lower/2nd string raise- same or different lever?

I currently have my 6th string whole tone lower and my second string half-tone raise on my RKL lever. I never have run into problems or situations wishing these to be separate until recently, and I thought that it was pretty common to have these changes on the same lever. Anyway, I was messing aroun...
