The Steel Guitar Forum

Wow. I have been away for over a year working and moving and Life. I love what you are doing with the Emmons. I know how much work goes into restoring these very special items. as you might have seen a long while back I restored a Wright Custom belonging to my late Father. It was a labor of Love. I ...

Mike, Do you know if this 4 neck Magnatone is still for sale? Just asking.

Let's see it...

bOb, These Guy's are correct. You have brought Steeler's young and old New to the Instrument.... and Veteran Musicians, Armature's and Professionals all to one forum for one reason, The love of the Steel Guitar. I am real impressed with this forum as it not only keeps me company when I have time to ...

Chas, This is one Beautiful Triple Wright Custom... I love these old Wrights. I have a passion for them as My late Father played His quad and loved it. I love the tone of the Wrights. Thank You for sharing it. Nice Steel Sir.

Congrats David Your Father would indeed be proud of you. You have earned it .....

James, Welcome to the Forum. I have learned a lot from many of the generous And Knowledgeable folks on here. And have fun getting your projects completed. If you need encouragement. This is the place to get it. Nice to have you on board.

Very Nice polishing job

Very Nice restoration. She sure looks better than New.

Kevin Hatton's splits have bumpers on the hinge side, so that it sits even handle-up. I just wish it had a bumper on the lid opposite the wheels, as it doesn't stand on end. I bet he's got a reason for its lack. I LOVE the one my Zum travels in. I also love my Hatton case! Kevin does excellent work...

Most kindly of each of you.........

I've always understood that good things are said about a guy only at his funeral.

Am I dead.........yet?

No Ray you are very much alive and timeless. Keep picking those Steels.

Larry, I still cannot stop drooling at the pic of your 3 steels. You said (As a young guy, I always wanted the latest "stuff", and now as an old guy, I want the old "stuff".) Well I completely agree. I can't keep my hands off of my Wright. Happy Thanksgiving to you and ALL of the...

Honestly I wouldn't pay more than $500.00 for it. Just from the description and your pic's it would take me about $650-$700 and a lot of elbow grease to get it back into pristine condition. That said, If you want to restore it. You might need to make another neck to replace the damaged one. Also are...

Still very interested in Who owns this Triple neck. I would be interested in purchasing it if it is for sale and at a reasonable price.

Yea! I sure would love to know who owns it, and if they are into possibly selling it to me. I would like to get the Triple neck restrung and playable again if it works out, I would want to find a double neck, and a single neck as well with all of the same design metrics. It sure would intrigue me to...

Lane, Thanks for the heads up. I will talk to Ricky and James. Also I am very familiar with the E9 E9/B6, C6 C6cH and have the E9/B6 tunings. But didn't know it was just a half step down or two from C6. OK so Bb6 with the E lowered. I should be able to dial it in on my electronic tuner then.. Thanks...

Hello Folks. It's me again. I have been Watching some Beautiful Sho-Bud Restorations on this forum and I have a few Questions. First I am wanting to get two of My Late Fathers Sho-Bud Double Neck Steels Professionally restored. First is the red Sho-Bud Pro II w/ten Pedals and 4 knee levers. The olde...

Jeff, I'm glad to see your Stringmaster back to work after the rebuild. Nice job. It looks very nice indeed.
The shielding put in place is a nice touch. I did the same thing on my Wright Quad to reduce or remove any cycle noise from the magnets. Enjoy It for many more years to come.

Now That is a Beautiful Stringmaster.. I like very much.

Wow that one looks to be close to same model that I have recovered from My Fathers collection that had been missing many years. This on has metal pickup covers instead of the Tortoise Shell Pick up covers and a flat top. I was able to purchase mine for $400.00. But $1100.00 would be too much for me ...

Jeff, Now that is the best way to get started on a project like this. I am very interested in it. I have a chance to purchase a Quad Stringmaster in pretty bad shape, although it has all of the hardware to it. No strings and No legs. I will be watching this thread to see how yours is coming. Keep up...

Jeff, I am very excited to see How the restoration on the Stringmaster is coming. Please keep us posted. These old Quads interest me very much.

Wow these Vintage Steels are way out of my price range.. I wonder what My Wrights are worth??? Hummmm!
Maybe I should invest in a Bank Vault to store them in...

Rick,
