I have one question- what is a standard tuning for a steel guitar?? The first tuning I was taught, back in the 50's, was open A then E. Now I play in A, E, E13,
E7, E9 chronomatic, G, A6, and C6.
I think they are all standard...

Jim, I have seen the guitar within 2 to 3 feet when Junior Brown was preforming at a club in Memphis, TN that he preforms in quite often. The only parts of his guitar that came from Fender is the neck of the standard guitar, the fret board and keyhead of the steel guitar. The whole instrument is cus...

Chris, Grounding an electric guitar will normally eliminate the hum. But be careful it could have a shocking surprise if you play in a place that you have never played before be sure to check and make sure that place is properly wired. If the wiring is reversed on the neutral and hot leg at the fuse...

Andy I think that the price on both guitars is high. I like the sound of a good guitar be it old or new. But for very little more you can get a new guitar for the price of an useded one. Like a new car I like to put the first dent in it myself. Anew guitar will have the newest pickup and some builde...

If wood is the maine factor why do we all spind so much on electronic .

The tone of a steel guitar is produced not by the body of the guitar but by the pickupand amp take one guitar that you like the sound of and try it on some one elses amp and you will see that it is in the electronic or change the pickup and use the same guitar and amp.

Most of the double and triple necks delux were white oak MOTS were yellow pine some of the 6 string laps were alder and poplar. It depended on the finsh that was to be used and what wood was on hand. The wood in a steel guitar has very lettle to do with the sound. If the pickup is working wright it ...
