The Steel Guitar Forum

Last week I shipped two amps one was a Vegas 400 the other was a Fender DeVille. I was told by UPS that they required two inches of packaging around the entire amp. And to leave the box open so they could inspect the packaging. All this because I wanted additional insurance. Apparently if you don't ...

Thanks to each of you for your reply-it appears that the Studio Projects C-1 is the best bet. So I will begin my quest to aquire one.

looking for a tortoise pickguard for a strat. is there a difference between the
eight hole and the eleven hole pick guards besides the number of screw holes?

GFI D-10 8&7 keyless makes me a happy picker

I chose the Vegas 400 because I double on six string and steel. Both instruments sound great. The steel is a GFI D10. The six strings are a tele, sometimes a PRS and sometimes a Gibson 335. Highly recomended by me.

a simple solution is hand cream, corn husker lotion, any brand, works great puts moisture in your hands takes away the dryness. I keep a small travel size in my seat.

I just paid $400.00 for a Blues Deville. Of course it wasn't damp or moldy. There seems to be a lot of sources for custom cab etc. here on the forum. I think they are great sounding amps.
